     FAQ : Why do captions sometimes stop before the program is finished?

     
 

    Some live events, such as sports, do not have a clearly pre-determined ending time. They may be scheduled to end before 11:00pm, for instance, but they go into overtime and last beyond 11:00pm. At some companies, if the person who is captioning that event is scheduled to caption another show at 11:00pm, such as the news on another channel, they must stop working on the sports event and switch to the news, thus ending the captioning of the sports event. NCI takes care in scheduling its captioners to prevent this from happening, so there are not any overlapping commitments.
