So the subtitles tag is pretty much redundant as far as the BBC is concerned.
Pretty sure CBeebies doesn't plonk a subtitles tag at the start of its programming either, though can't be sure if this is promoted in other ways.
Exactly, it doesn’t need to be there any more if subtitles are already the default, in my view.
It’s just clutter on screen.
