Death?
Still in use in Europe. I know it hasn't had much widespread use in the US.
The limited format makes it very good for displaying only relevant information. Once fully loaded, it's faster then going to the website of the program, or just to receive e.g. sport outcomes.
- digi_owl 8y agoBest i can tell, it is the national broadcasters that keep them in operation because they don't have to consider ad revenue. USA do not have anything like that, so it would not surprise me that their channels wants to phase it out (or forgo implementing it in the first place).
- icebraining 8y agoI don't know about the regular teletext menu, but in my country the broadcasters (public and private) are required to have teletext subtitles on page 888 in much of their programming, for accessibility reasons.
- swah 8y agoYes, I just stumbled accross this the other day, and was surprised that it works pretty well: https://www.rtp.pt/wportal/teletexto/ https://www.rtp.pt/wportal/teletexto/ RTP is a major Portuguese news outlet.
