Company History
Caption Colorado was founded in 1991. It began with one local Denver station (KCNC-TV) for which it provided free realtime captioning service for one year for the benefit of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community in Colorado. Caption Colorado secured its first paying customer (WRC-TV in Washington, DC) one year later. It was at that time that Caption Colorado led the realtime captioning industry to a radically new low rate of $120 per hour. In the early 90's the closed captioning industry was a substantially subsidized industry with rates ranging from $400 to $1,000 per hour for realtime captioning. As a result of its competitive rate, Caption Colorado was able to secure a large portion of the growth in the industry over the next nine years and is now one of America's largest providers of realtime closed captioning services by a wide margin.
