The subject shouldn't have been difficult for them to cover, since I've always remembered it as one with a sign-language interpreter always on screen.

And this show certainly must have been popular in the nation's capital, since it aired on not one, not two, but THREE stations (WTTG and WTOP)!

All of the show's listings did mention sign-language interpretation...IIRC from earlier comments about this show on other posts, I think the program was offered to any station that wanted it, but 3 in the same market (2 airing the same episode) must be a record for a market ;D
