How times have changed. The other day, I was watching the MTV Hits channel and noticed a change on the tags of their music videos. In the past, next to the record label would be the designation [CC] if the video was closed captioned. Now it's replaced with a designation of [Y] or [N]. Sometimes, there will be a video whose song was released by two labels, and one label will have a [Y] and the other will have an [N]. I can't understand why some labels wouldn't provide closed captions when the other one would. Or do these new designations represent something else, like HD? Kinda awkward to the average person unskilled in the MTV of old (especially in an era where the actual MTV rarely runs videos) to just show a [Y] and/or an [N] on the video tag with no explanation.
