      You are technically correct - the best kind of correct! (Futurama quote, meaning I appreciate your correction.)

      It’s probably not an issue for a station that simply doesn’t have that level of captioning, yet.

      But I take your point - it would likely be a violation if they had that captioning and tried to monetize it. (In my substantially professionally trained but still non-expert opinion.)
