Comments Due July 26 on Pluto TV Closed-Captioning Waiver Ask

Comments are due July 26 and replies Aug. 9 on a Pluto TV ask for a one-year waiver of rules requiring closed captioning of IPTV content, said an FCC Media Bureau public notice in docket 11-54 Thursday. The streaming service's petition said more than 90 percent of its users have access to captions, but some platforms are dated and lack core capabilities or that Pluto's engineering work has focused on the most heavily used platforms.
