I have always liked to watch Fr. Mitch on his shows and I did love to watch Mother Angelica on the rebroadcast of her old shows; but I watched her when they were not her “old” shows; but live shows.
But, I recently have lost my hearing and EWTN does not close caption their shows - except for the Rosary and the Daily Mass (and actually they are the two shows where the closed captioning is not necessary, all one needs for the Mass is your Missal).
It is a shame but in several conversations with EWTN they insist they do close caption; and the cable company is to blame - the cable company said that is ridiculous - they send out what they get.
So, I have stopped contributing to EWTN since I cannot hear but is being said I can no long watch EWTN except for the Daily Mass and the new Rosary program. I always liked to pray the Rosary with Mother Angelica and the Nuns; but the new Rosary with Mother Angelica which is broadcast around 11:30 a.m. is absolutely wonderful. I make sure not to miss that. It precedes the Daily Mass.
I would dearly love to be able to watch Fr. Mitch but I just cannot hear. Broadcasters forget that even though we cannot hear; we are capable of financial support for stations that do close caption.
