Subtitles on live TV channels
Subtitles are available on our live TV channel streams on the 大象传媒 iPlayer website and on our TV app.* This is a trial which is available on all channels apart from 大象传媒 Parliament, 大象传媒 Alba and S4C. We hope to roll out this functionality to the 大象传媒 iPlayer mobile/tablet app in the future.
