The Chief Engineer at WJLA (CH. 7) in Washington thinks this way too.
When my dad was doing some legal work with regard the unions there the
point came up that the union required one of their members to be present
to operate the Videofont machine during EBS tests.  My dad asked what a
videofont machine was and he was told that it was a device to put the letters
up on the bottom of the screen so the blind people could read it.

Too bad there isn't a control to turn up the intelligence of TV.  There's
one marked brightness, but it doesn't seem to work.
