Channel 8 KLKN-TV closed captioning station contact information

Closed captioning is an assistive technology for the hearing impaired that displays the audio portion of a television signal as printed words on the television screen. Closed captions are hidden as encoded data within the television signal, and a viewer wishing to see the captions must use a set-top decoder or a television with built-in decoder circuitry. Since July 1993, all television sets with screens 13 inches or larger have been manufactured with built-in decoder circuitry.

Channel 8 KLKN-TV broadcasts contain closed captioning.  If you experience problems with closed captioning on your television set, please contact us so that we can remedy the situation or provide assistance.  Please contact Jeff Swanson, Director of Broadcast Operations at 402-436-2238 Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM.   You may write to Jeff Swanson, Channel 8 KLKN-TV, 3240 South Tenth Street, Lincoln, NE 68502 or send a fax to 402-436-2236,or by email to programming@klkntv.com . 

Please note that most of the programming on RTV8 is currently exempt from closed captioning rules.
