RE: Certification of Compliance, Q4 2020
Dear Partner,
This Letter is intended to assist you in satisfying your obligations under i) the Children's Television Act of 1990 (the "CTA"); and ii) the Telecommunications Act (Accessibility of Video Programming), and any FCC regulations relating thereto in connection with your carriage of our video programming services, Insight TV.
CTA TV Entertainment Reality Network B.V. (trading as "Insight TV") hereby certifies that Insight TV did not air children's programs (as defined in the CTA) in Q4 2020, and we trust that this enables you to satisfy your obligations under the CTA in connection with your carriage of Insight TV.
Closed Captioning In addition, Insight TV has established that a number of self-implementing exemptions apply to it. Section 79.1 (d) (Title 47, Chapter 1, Subchapter C, Part 79, Sub part A, §79.1) on Accessibility of Video Programming provides that any video programming or video programming provider that meets one or more of the following criteria shall be exempt from having to provide Closed Captioning:
A. 79.1 (d) (9): Programming on a video programming network for the first four years after it begins operations (...).
B. 79.1 (d) (12): No video programming provider shall be required to expend any money to caption any channel or stream of video programming producing annual gross revenues of less than $3,000,000 during the previous calendar year (...). For the purposes of this paragraph, each programming stream on multicast digital television channel shall be considered separately for purposes of the $3,000,000 revenue limit.
Ad A: With reference to paragraph 154 of the Report and Order (MM Docket No. 95-176) and footnote 552 of the 2014 Report and Order on Closed Captioning of Video Programming (CG Docket No. 05- 231) the four-year exemption commences from the date the new network has launched. Since Insight TV only launched in the US as of October 2017, this exemption applies up until October 2021.
Ad B: In addition to the exemption of section 79.1 (d) (9), Insight TV is also exempt under section 79.1 (d) (12), as the annual gross revenue produced on Insight TV's US channels in the previous year has not exceeded the $3,000,000 threshold, nor will it exceed such threshold in 2020.
Sincerely yours,

Newsmax TV uses a service by EEG called Lexi, which is a cloud based system that translates the speech to text, then sends it to an EEG encoder model HD 490, which embeds the captioning into our broadcast stream that is then distributed to our linear and digital partners. Newsmax Broadcasting is required by the Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA) to have Closed Captioning when we stream. As stated in the paragraph above, Newsmax Broadcasting currently complies with the requirement set forth in CVAA and embeds the captioning into our broadcast stream.

RE: Certification of Compliance, 2020
Dear Partner,
This Letter is intended to assist you in satisfying your obligations under i) the Children's Television Act of 1990 (the "CTA"); and ii) the Telecommunications Act (Accessibility of Video Programming), and any FCC regulations relating thereto in connection with your carriage of our video programming services, Insight TV.
CTA TV Entertainment Reality Network B.V. (trading as "Insight TV") hereby certifies that Insight TV did not air children's programs (as defined in the CTA) in 2020, and we trust that this enables you to satisfy your obligations under the CTA in connection with your carriage of Insight TV.
Closed Captioning In addition, Insight TV has established that a number of self-implementing exemptions apply to it. Section 79.1 (d) (Title 47, Chapter 1, Subchapter C, Part 79, Sub part A, §79.1) on Accessibility of Video Programming provides that any video programming or video programming provider that meets one or more of the following criteria shall be exempt from having to provide Closed Captioning:
A. 79.1 (d) (9): Programming on a video programming network for the first four years after it begins operations (...).
B. 79.1 (d) (12): No video programming provider shall be required to expend any money to caption any channel or stream of video programming producing annual gross revenues of less than $3,000,000 during the previous calendar year (...). For the purposes of this paragraph, each programming stream on multicast digital television channel shall be considered separately for purposes of the $3,000,000 revenue limit.
Ad A: With reference to paragraph 154 of the Report and Order (MM Docket No. 95-176) and footnote 552 of the 2014 Report and Order on Closed Captioning of Video Programming (CG Docket No. 05- 231) the four-year exemption commences from the date the new network has launched. Since Insight TV only launched in the US as of October 2017, this exemption applies up until October 2021.
Ad B: In addition to the exemption of section 79.1 (d) (9), Insight TV is also exempt under section 79.1 (d) (12), as the annual gross revenue produced on Insight TV's US channels in the previous year has not exceeded the $3,000,000 threshold, nor will it exceed such threshold in 2020.
Sincerely yours,

FCC Closed Captioning Statement
The Federal Communications Commission requires closed captioning for the hearing impaired in virtually all new video programming for English-language programming. The FCC rules, however, temporarily exempt from this requirement programming supplied by a new video programming network during “the first four years after it begins operation.” 47 C.F.R. Section 79.1(d)(9).
The Court TV Network launched its new English-language service on May 8, 2019. Consequently, programming broadcast by the Court TV Network will be exempt from the FCC’s closed captioning requirements until May 8, 2023.
