In the U.S., PBS and its various affiliates have been active participants in the<br />

American Film Institute’s eTV Workshop for numerous years. The workshop has<br />

generated prototypes for enhancing many documentaries, including Woodrow Wilson<br />

(American Experience), Two Towns of Jasper (POV), Fidel Castro (American<br />

Experience), and Cisco’s Journal (American Family).<br />

In particular, WGBH, the public broadcasting company that invented closed<br />

captioning in the 1970s, has looked to iTV features to build upon what its audience has<br />

will allow viewers to gain a great degree of personalization over their viewing<br />

experiences.<br />
