Why are there no captions on the old Great British Baking Show episodes on Roku channel?

Why are there no captions on the old Great British Baking Show episodes on Roku channel?  When these episodes were on Netflix, they had captions so there is no reason why captions should be unavailable when viewed on Roku channel.  Has anyone had success accessing the captions on this show?

@Anbogin 

Under the Accessibility and Captions (press * button on Roku remote during episode), it indicates that the Captioning Track is "Not Available".  Therefore, no way to get closed captioning/subtitle to work.

Why it is not there or available, can't give you an answer to that one.

I was really hoping there would be a response. My daughter and I were so ecstatic to find GBBO on Roku, but unfortunately my daughter can’t enjoy it since she is Deaf.  It would be really great if accessibility really mattered.

Hi @Anbogin @Crazycasefamily,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and we regret hearing about it.

Please be aware that caption availability on the Roku channel may vary depending on the content.

In this case, we'll make sure to forward this to the appropriate Roku team for further investigation.

We'll make sure to update this thread once we have an update available.

Thanks for your understanding!

Warm regards,

Rey

Is there any update on this? So disappointing to lack accessibility for this show when it could be so easy to fix.

It’s been a few months, any update on this? I would also like to know. It’s a shame for disabled folks that use captions.

Still no answer, June 14 2024. I'm a new Roku owner and want to watch Bake Off AND see the closed captioning.

@RokuERey Thank you for replying. Based on the lack of reply since August '23 (about 10 months ago), would that be because the internal Roku teams have not responded to you (the support team) with more info? Or has it just not filtered back to us yet?
