<blockquote> Joe writes: <blockquote> So you want 24-hour talk-radio stations to spend millions of dollars every year posting transcripts several days after the fact? </blockquote> Sorry: my first response was stupid and I apologize. The answer, though, is that *if* a 24-hour talk radio station archives its broadcasts and posts them to the Web, and *if* that station wants to claim conformance to WCAG 2.0, then yes, I want them to post transcripts. It's do-able. NPR does it. Voice of America does it. I know those aren't 24-hour talk radio stations. Nevertheless, I do think those transcripts should be required *if* the station wants to claim conformance. "Good design is accessible design."
