Deaf people get subtitles to access, signed TV programs and signed access, the blind don't get anything extra... perhaps a little off for radio which is obviously outr for most of us.

The worst offendors are SKY and other independant companies, but you don't need a licence to watch them, only the BBC, the BBC is the primary access for the deaf...
