A group of people are being sued by the companies.
Is it on the radio?
The National Association for the deafness and the Disability Rights Advocates are accusing the satellite radio company of failing to provide the necessary audio and video equipment for the majority of its shows. According to the complaint, the ADA and New York state law are not being complied with by SiriusXM and its subsidiaries.
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that all news, entertainment, educational programs, and popular culture be made available to hearing people.
The ADA requires companies that provide services to the general public to provide the services in a way that is accessible to people with disabilities.
The Joe Rogan Experience is one of the most well-known podcasts, but it is not named in the lawsuit. Some third-party apps provide transcripts for Rogan's shows. In May, it was announced that it would begin auto-scribing some of its original shows.
Christina Brandt-Young of DRA said in an email that transcripts should be provided across all platforms, even if they can't sue every bad provider in a single lawsuit. It is concerning to us that even when the authors of the New York Times and other podcasts make their transcripts available elsewhere, they don't provide them through their services, making our clients work twice as hard to get the same information everyone else does.
She said that transcripts are easy to provide. It is time for them to provide the transcripts of their shows on their websites and apps.
The lawsuit seeks compensation and an injunction requiring the companies to market the availability of transcripts to people who are hard of hearing.
On Tuesday, the company didn't respond to requests for comment.
