Question 42634 — audiovisual and communication

Summary

Ms. Lamia El Aaraje draws the attention of the Minister of Culture regarding the obligation of subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing on television channels. The obligation developed by the law of February 11, 2005 concerns channels whose audience is greater than 2.5% of the total audience of television services. Their mission is therefore to subtitle all of their programs, with the exception of advertising and certain exemptions. Other channels with a smaller audience share must conclude an agreement with the Superior Audiovisual Council (CSA) to offer part of their programs with subtitling. Subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing is essential for universal accessibility to information and culture. The country is experiencing an aging population, which could cause an increase in the number of people suffering from more or less severe hearing impairments, it seems of crucial importance that these rules are respected. Faced with the reports received by several citizens in her constituency, the MP therefore wishes to know the percentage of programs currently subtitled by television channels.
