I produce a church worship program that airs weekly on the local NBC
affiliate.

They're trying to make us do closed captioning for all programs beginning
January 1. This is particularly onerous given the fact that they mentioned
it for the first time THIS WEEK. They're playing hardball on this one,
which is surprising given the fact that this church has been on with them
since 1974.

After checking with the other stations in town, I'm finding that they are
allowing their church programs to air without captioning under the "no
repeat value" exception. (There's also an "under $3million revenue
exception" which would seem to apply.)

Has anyone else faced this ? What was the resolution ?
