Olympusat, Inc. announced a captioning agreement with Dicapta, the industry experts in providing access to audiovisual media for Hispanics with special needs.
Through this agreement, Dicapta will provide Olympusat with approximately 20 hours per quarter of closed captioning services and descriptions for Olympusat’s owned-and-operated TV networks. It also ensures that people with hearing impairment will receive access to Olympusat’s entertaining, educational, cultural and informative programming.

“At Olympusat, we are committed to create a world-class viewing experience for our audiences; we are thrilled to offer top-quality entertainment to an underserved community of Hispanics. We will start closed captioning three educational series for kids – Kemy, Seguridad Vial and Telmo & Tula: Manualidades,” said Jesús Piñango, director of Content Strategy at Olympusat.
“We are excited to announce that thanks to our captioning agreement with Olympusat the Hispanic community with disabilities will have access to educational Spanish-language programming by turning on the caption or audio description option on their TVs,” added María Victoria Díaz, CEO of Dicapta.
In the near future the Hispanic community with special needs will have access to a great number of movies and series on Olympusat’s owned-and-operated networks including Sorpresa and Ultra Kidz.
