Has CBS stopped captioning its Evening News?  We've been getting the
captions only occasionally here.  I don't think the problem is with
the local station, since they continue to caption their local news
broadcasts.  And I'm pretty sure the problem is not with my equipment,
since the other networks (ABC, NBC, PBS) appear to have no unusual
problems with their "live" captioning.  Just the usual gaffes.

I called the local station, and they were unaware of a problem.  But
then they don't watch the captioned CBS news, they only broadcast it.

Other CBS network programs (pre-recorded) appear to be captioned as
usual.  It's just the news.  Is anyone getting it captioned???

Oh well, I'd Rather watch Jennings or Brokaw.  (pun intended)
             ^^^^^^
