Though many other channels in the M-Net suite offers Hearing Impaired subtitles, none of them offers these subtitles over live programming like Idols, making Sky News the first broadcaster to do that as well.
As can be expected when someone has to live-type the dialogue on screen, the subtitles do exhibit a rather noticeable lag compared to the live broadcast, but for the hearing impaired community, having the ability to watch and keep up with broadcast news must be a welcomed addition to their programming.
