CBS4 WHBF-TV Closed Captioning Station Contact Information

Closed captioning is an assistive technology for the hearing impaired that displays the audio portion of a television signal as printed words on the television screen. Closed captions are hidden as encoded data within the television signal, and a viewer wishing to see the captions must use a set-top decoder or a television with built-in decoder circuitry. Since July 1993, all television sets with screens 13 inches or larger have been manufactured with built-in decoder circuitry.

CBS4 WHBF-TV broadcasts contain closed captioning.  If you experience problems with closed captioning on your television set, please contact us so that we can remedy the situation or provide assistance.  Please contact J.D. Walls, Director of Broadcast Operations at 309-236-0612 x206 Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM.   You may write to J.D. Walls, CBS4 WHBF-TV, 231 18th Street, Rock Island, IL or send a fax to 309-788-4975, or by email to jwalls@cbs4q.com.

Please note that most of the programming on RTV4 is currently exempt from closed captioning rules.
