What do these shows have in common?

  • Powerpuff Girls

  • JAG

  • Law & Order

  • Malcolm in the Middle

  • The documentary "Gay Hollywood"


None of them is getting federal funds for captioning, although these are:

  • 21st Century Astrology, VCI Education Series

  • FOX National News

  • The Fountainhead, Turner Classic Movies

  • Why We Fight Educational Series

  • Great Generals Series


Anybody surprised by this?

Interesting...
Everything I like does not get funding.

How are those funding decisions made? (Both in theory and in practice?)

I always find amusing when older episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast (http://www.adultswim.com/shows/spaceghost/) list the U.S. Department of Education as a funding source. The kids have to learn about CHiPs somewhere...

From what I've seen most programs have a commercial sponsor for CC transcription, or it's provided by some charity other than the Feds.

So where do you look these up?
