The issue is: what exceptions... for rebroadcast of TV signals.JW Solution:if content is reb roadcast from another medium or resource that complies to broadcast requirements of acce ssibility (independent of these guidelines), the rebroadcast satisfies the checkpoint if complies with the other guidelines. Response: It is technically possible to Webcast a *television* program with the same captions that program has (as in open captioning). We are 85% of the way to being able to Webcast a program with its captions reformulated into an online video player's own captions (closed captions transformed into other closed captions). Thus the original broadcast could be accessible. Later rebroadcasts could be accessible if captions were recovered or preserved, which isn't difficult in a video-digitizing environment. CLARIFICATION REQUESTED: What is the actual goal this bug seeks? To exempt already-captioned (and, presumably, already-described) TV broadcasts that are retransmitted online?
