With the support of funding from NZ On Air, TVNZ captions over 130 hours of programmes each week across TV One, TV2 and TV3. If page 801 is selected during a programme that does not feature captions, then the page remains black and the counter at the top of the page does not rotate. When words are spoken, the captions appear in a black box at the bottom of the screen.

When page 801 is selected during a programme featuring captions, the TVNZ Teletext page disappears, leaving the normal television picture. Captions are also used by migrants and students learning English, or as a tool to assist with literacy education.Īs with subtitles, text is added to represent the dialogue, but captions go further in that they also describe sound effects and music ("car engine stalls", "knock on door", "dance music plays"), and are colour-ascribed and placed to identify speakers.Ĭaptions are available by selecting page 801 on channels TV ONE, TV2 and TV3. Subpages scroll around automatically, but if you don’t want to wait you can use your remote to select a specific subpage from the onscreen list.Ĭaptioning (sometimes referred to as subtitles) provides onscreen text to help deaf or hearing-impaired viewers to follow television programmes.

Teletext is still owned and run by TVNZ, just as it always has been, we are now just reflecting this through the name – TVNZ Teletext. You may also notice that the branding has changed slightly. For example, all news content is now grouped together, as is all sport content. We’ve reorganised to keep similar pages together. Previously, TVNZ Teletext had similar information spread across many pages unnecessarily.

We have a limited number of pages available, but need to show more information than ever. Your favourite content is still there but in a different place. To make the service easier and more logical to use we’ve reorganised a little. If you’ve looked at TVNZ Teletext recently and couldn’t find what you expected, don’t worry.
