Live subtitles return to Channel 4 following surprise announcement

Posted on October 22, 2021 by


Just a few days after announcing that it would be mid-November before subtitles would return to their services, Channel 4 have made a surprise announcement.

A tweet sent out at 6pm this evening, with a BSL video, says that subtitles will return to the channel’s main services available on the major platforms.

However according to the video, it appears that the subtitles we will get, for now at least, are live subtitles – appearing with a delay.

See the tweet below, and watch the video:
