The Deaf and Hearing Network - DHN

The Deaf and Hearing Network - DHN DHN is a news broadcast that incorporates American Sign Language, spoken English and captions into e DHN is a news broadcast out of Phoenix, Arizona.

We incorporate American Sign Language, spoken English and captions into each broadcast. There are 48 million deaf or hard of hearing people in America and the majority of them are born into hearing families. Very few of those families will learn sign language - American Sign Language, ASL. This gives the entire family access to news. This is the first news show to involve all three forms of commun

ication and give information relevant to everyone whether they are involved in the Deaf community or not. What most people fail to realize is that English and ASL are two completely different languages with their own grammatical structures. Plus, English is a second language for most deaf people and the lag and inaccuracy in live captioning can make daily news a daunting task. DHN hopes to grow into a national, daily broadcast with news segments and other network programs. We currently air on local channels and online.
