Closed-captioning text on TV programs is an excellent tool for deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers to enjoy Shaw Television programming.

• Shaw's closed-captioning capabilities provide visual text of a program's audio as it is heard. Broadcasters provide closed captioning in most of their programming.
• You can turn captions on or off with your TV's remote. Check your manufacturer's website or TV User Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to set it up.
• Shaw's HD Boxes and HDPVRs provide closed caption decoding for all channels, including those in high-definition. Use Power/Menu to access User Settings to turn captioning on and off.

AMI-audio is a broadcast reading service, a network on which volunteers read and record full-text spoken-word versions of current articles from leading newspapers and magazines. The channel makes local, regional, national and international news available to viewers who are blind and vision-restricted, who have learning disabilities or have physical and motor-skill disabilities.

• To use AMI-audio, you need to activate the SAP/MTS on your TV. Your remote control should have a button that says MTS or SAP.
• You also can tune into the CBC News Network and AMI-audio service will be heard.
