The “Temple of the Air” in Beverly Hills, California states in their captioning exemption petition that it would be “cost prohibitive” to closed caption a once a year, 30 minute program on Yom Kippur services. A reader, Amy Cohen Efron found this information on the google and unearthed a September/October 2006 newsletter at TempleoftheHearts.com that states “Temple of the Air will broadcast the Yom Kippur service for the homebound again this year on PAX TV to millions of viewers.” Not only that, the same newsletter states that they are planning “state of the art” improvements to their facilities for future broadcasts and webcasts. Yet they say they can’t afford to closed caption for 30 minutes a year? The FCC has not yet decided whether to grant their petition for a closed captioning exemption.
