Speedy subtitles ruin my enjoyment of TV

I wish whoever is responsible for the unreadable television subtitles, especially on the news channels and Premier League football games would come up with a way of making them better.

For those of us who have hearing problems, trying to follow the item being screened, because of the rapidity of the spoken word unfortunately makes them unreadable, so it tends to spoil the enjoyment of the programmes.

In this modern, hi-tech world, I’m very surprised that no one seems to concern themselves too much about us armchair supporters, who rely so much on our televisions, but the speed of the subtitles makes it almost impossible to keep up.

Finally, to those who still have good hearing - don’t abuse your good fortune, just enjoy it and cherish it while you can.
