Non-compliance with legal requirements

At this time, we are aware that we have not been able to meet all the criteria of WCAG in the following areas:

• Links don't always have descriptive names
• Iframe elements require a non-empty attribute that identifies the frame.
• Document links and links to external pages do not always describe where they lead or that they open in a new window.
• The content, structure and functionality of PDF documents, for example, have not yet been reviewed in terms of accessibility. However, spot checks show problems with accessibility.
• Images in PDF documents may be missing or have incorrect text alternatives.
• Videos lack audio description
• Some PDF documents are not properly made (tagged) to work with screen readers.
• The reading order may be incorrect in PDF documents.
• Headings and heading levels are sometimes not used correctly, which can cause difficulties for both cognitive and visual users.
• Some images with meaningful content lack description.
• Some buttons and links with meaningful content do not always have a description
• Normally we don't use tables, but we do have a few tables to show frame schedules on some program pages. These are not fully available.
• Our podcasts do not have alternative formats such as printing the podcast
