POSSIBLE REMEDY
You are watching a live broadcast
and spelling caption errors made by
the closed captioning production
company may pass through
uncorrected. A prerecorded program

because of the normal time available
for editing the captions.
Captions that are delayed a few
seconds behind the actual dialogue
are common for live broadcasts.
Most is captioning production
