Ruling 350/2016 issued by ANTV
Colombia's Television National Authority (ANTV) issued the law that regulates the implementation of access systems for the hearing impaired in contents broadcast through the public television service.
Taking into account the rights of the deaf and hypoacusic population and ANTV's role as regulator of the public television service, Ruling 350/2016 was issued. It compels concessionaires of television spaces at Canal Uno, open television operators with national, regional and local coverage, as well as paid television operators with self-produced programming to implement systems that guarantee access to television for this population.
