@sygo7g Caption 2 was meant to have captions in a 2nd language, but the only time I ever saw that used was Spanish translations during "60 Minutes" during the last couple analog years. Some of my 80s ABC recordings have a demonstration of closed captions on C2.
Sometime later they added captions 3 and 4 (also Text 3 and 4) but I don't know why since they didn't seem to be used at all.
@MattTheSaiyan I'll try to put it up soon- this is from the animated "Return of the King" rebroadcast in May 1980 and has a lot of great kids/family type commercials. I don't have my own camera so I had a friend shoot this while he was here with it.
@sygo7g They weren't doing this in '83 as a good number of shows were captioned by then, but check caption "C2" if your TV has it- they sometimes put other stuff on that. Some new TVs still support Text, even though nobody's used it in a long time (I have a couple demo laserdiscs for Mitsubishi TVs, made in the 90s that have a scrolling message on the Text channels saying something like "This is the text channel, there is no Text info on this disc.")
Wrong, cunt. In 1993, the text appeared during NYPD Blue.

THIS IS ROW 15! THE VERY BOTTOM
All I have to say is, man I'd be pissed if I were deaf in the early 80s.
@eyeh8nbc Nice; I always wondered wth C2 was for. Now I know!

@eyeh8nbc ABC has quite a few programs now that have Spanish subtitles in the CC2 feed.

I wish you could upload the whole Kodak commercial by itself, even without the captions.
