sorry charlie on the signer, the CC'ing law isn't centered around just for
the deaf, it's also for the hearing impaired and few of them know sign.
therefore, the law is particular on the "how" it must be presented. either
roll up (worst) or pop up, and that's it. one can sign if they want, but
that won't satisfy the law.

anyways, they probably are exempt anyway if they just read the law. AND,
the station is obligated to abide by their exemption if they apply!
