SABC3 soap Isidingo gets on-screen subtitels to help deaf viewers as Dtv continues on Sundays.
SABC3's soap Isidingo (weekdays, 19:30) now comes with subtitles since Wednesday evening to help deaf viewers.
''The deaf community is very important to the SABC and to the channel in particular and so it gives us real pleasure in being able to provide subtitling on Isidingo from this week on,'' says Ed Worster, SABC3's acting channel head.
''Our hope is that it will enhance the viewing pleasure of the community and grant them full access to South Africa's most popular soap.''
SABC3 has been broadcasting Dtv - a special programming block for deaf viewers since 1996 which currently has a Sunday morning at 11:30 timeslot on SABC3 and is presented by Candice Morgan.
