• • April 7, 2015 Commission's Secretary Office of the Secretary Federal Communications Commission Attention: CGB Room 3-8431 9300 East Hampton Drive Capitol Heights, MD 20743 RE: Petition for Closed Captioning Exemption Greater Community Temple is a community-based church with two locations in the city of Memphis. It operates under the Church Of God In Christ, Inc., and is incorporated as a 501(c)(3). We are funded by donations and fundraisers, all of which are fully tax-deductible. Greater Community Temple's mission is to impact our community through evangelism and discipleship in order to change the world. We are committed to developing believers in their faith of the Lord Jesus Christ through the consistent and systematic study of God's Word. Spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to believers and unbelievers alike is a core component of our faith. One of the many ways we do this is by broadcasting weekly on several major television and radio outlets. We are honored to have the opportunity to send the message of Jesus Christ through the airwaves. Our radio and t elevision programs are entitled Touched by the Truth Ministries. We reach thousands weekly via radio {95.7 Hallelujah FM & 94.7 WOJG) and television (WREG Channel 3, The WORD Network & Comcast Access Channel 17). Organizations like ours make available the spiritual resources that enrich families, communities, and individuals throughout the world. As we understand it, the FCC has mandated that all television programs include Closed Captioning. We have two shows that would require Closed Captioning, our Touched by the Truth broadcasts that air on WREG Channel 3 and The WORD Network respectively. While we have not gotten assistance from our programming distributors, we do openly invite our viewers and members to partner with us to help further our outreach efforts. Although these donations help us to maintain our on-air status, they do not provide 100% funding. The cost of Closed Captioning would be a financial burden, grossly obstructing our continued communication via television. Please find quotes we have received for weekly Closed Captioning, totaling $11,000-$26,000 annually. In addition, we have found that producing Closed Captioning internally would be totally cost prohibitive: $11,950 for the software; $3,700 for the computer; roughly $1,800 for set-up and training. We are not attempting to merely save a few dollars; however, Closed Captioning is a financial burden we simply would not be able to bear. We know that without an exemption, we would be forced to discontinue our shows. Thank you in advance for your respect and attention to this matter. Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions or concerns you may have. • I cutive Assistant to Senior Pastor "One Church In Two Locations" orul~"" 71'1'>'11u.......... ; .,™1RHY7 /Pnnn11>· toon '\?7-Q?"\"\ /FAY' fQOI) :'\26-6749 /www.2ctministries.onz Stephanie Hill From: Jeff Williams <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 27, 2015 5:51 PM To: Chris Nichols; Stephanie Hill Subject: Fwd: Captionlabs Quote FYI.
