On an additional note, they still have been captioning the new video uploads to Youtube and their blog as well. They really do "get it"!
When will the other musicals catch on?
That's great! I gather from your last sentence that you haven't been having much luck with others, huh? Well, don't lose hope on the others. I'm sure they'll come around. Maybe if enough of us were to concentrate on sending messages to one channel at a time we can speed up their decision process. Kind of a takeover by nagging sort of thing, channel to channel. Haha. Anyway, I'm working on the next video, but after that I don't really know what I'm going to caption, as there hasn't been anymore suggestions. Readers, as Katie posted earlier, we need your suggestions about which Broadway videos (legal) to caption next. I would greatly appreciate it.
