NOTE 1: 8 sign language user communities (Andorran, Finland-Swedish SL, German SL in Belgium, German SL in Luxembourg, Liechteinstein, Monaco, Italian SL in San Marino and Russian) had no access to sign language to sign language on public television during data collection (May 2022), so the actual number of communities covered was 43.

NOTE 2: all DURATIONS presented on this website (and in my dissertation) are weekly. All PERCENTAGES refer to weekly duration of all SL TV programmes broadcast for a single sign language user community.

NOTE: I distinguished this feature in order to find communities that may not have had SL programming on the weekends or had it only on the weekends. Published on the website for reference.

NOTE: Deafness means here that although the programme was presented by a hearing person (interpreter) it was described as "for the Deaf", "on Deaf issues" or "in sign language". Deaf presenters are acknowledged within the SL Source (Mode) feature.

NOTE: Not applicable here means that the programme has not got an added interpreter, but is presented directly in sign language (by either a hearing or deaf person).

NOTE: Not applicable here means that the programme has not got an added interpreter, but is presented directly in sign language (by either a hearing or deaf person).

NOTE: Feature established in order to find communities that have (no) SL broadcasting for children.
