RTÉ One will be required to reach a subtitling target of 87-92% by 2018, while TV3 must have between 51-55% of all programmes subtitled under new changes outlined by the BAI on Television Subtitling, Sign Language and Audio Description.
Under the changes to the Rules, RTÉ One’s target of 87-92% by 2018, is compared to 82-87% in 2014. In the case of TV3, it will be required to reach a subtitling target of 51-55% compared to 43-47% in 2014.
Subtitling targets are also set for the first time for the three RTÉ television services established in 2011, namely RTÉjr, RTÉ Plus 1 and RTÉ News Now.
The changes were announced on 27th January as The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland published revised rules governing the level of subtitling, sign language and audio-description that Irish television broadcasters must offer to the public.
The rules update the current Access Rules, which were last reviewed in 2012.
