Captioning services innovator Ai-Media today announced it has completed an agreement with the Nine Network to service all of Nine’s Australian markets in a new era of quality captioning for consumers.

Nine awarded a five year captioning services contract to Ai-Media through a competitive tender process involving international and local captioning providers.

Ai-Media CEO, Tony Abrahams said: “Ai-Media is excited to be working with Nine across its diverse mix of leading entertainment programming. New, regulated captioning quality standards were introduced in June. This has played to Ai-Media’s strength in delivering consistent quality at scale.”

Nine’s Director of Commercial and Regulatory Affairs, Scott Briggs, said: “This is an important service to many of our viewers and through this new deal with Ai-Media we are confident we will have the best quality service for them.”

The win by Australian-owned Ai-Media is the company’s first in the free-to-air television sector. Ai-Media this week celebrates ten years in business.
