ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Effective Date: August 27, 2026
Last Updated: August 27, 2026

The Culture Media is committed to making The Culture Radio accessible and usable for as many people as reasonably possible, including people with disabilities.

The Culture Radio is operated by The Culture Media, part of the Society Capital Group family of companies.

This Accessibility Statement applies to The Culture Radio websites, mobile experiences, streaming services, podcast pages, creator features, and other digital services that we operate.

1. OUR COMMITMENT

We want users to be able to access and enjoy our content, programming, and services regardless of disability or the technology they use.

We continue to work toward improving accessibility across areas such as:

  • Website navigation;
  • Text readability;
  • Keyboard accessibility;
  • Screen reader compatibility;
  • Images and alternative text;
  • Forms and input fields;
  • Buttons and links;
  • Color contrast;
  • Video content;
  • Audio content;
  • Podcast pages;
  • Radio player controls;
  • Mobile usability; and
  • Overall digital accessibility.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we may continue improving our services as technologies, standards, and Platform features change.

2. ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS

As part of our accessibility efforts, we aim to consider generally recognized digital accessibility standards and best practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium.

Where reasonably practicable, our goal is to improve alignment with applicable accessibility requirements and commonly recognized WCAG Level AA practices.

This statement is not a representation that every page, feature, or third-party service currently meets every WCAG success criterion.

3. ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES

Depending on the particular page or feature, The Culture Radio may support accessibility through measures such as:

  • Logical heading structures;
  • Descriptive page titles;
  • Alternative text for meaningful images;
  • Text labels for forms;
  • Keyboard-accessible navigation;
  • Visible focus indicators;
  • Sufficient color contrast;
  • Descriptive links and buttons;
  • Responsive layouts;
  • Mobile-friendly interfaces;
  • Scalable text;
  • Clearly identifiable controls; and
  • Compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies.

Some features may still be in the process of improvement.

4. SCREEN READERS AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Our website is designed for use with modern browsers and may be used with assistive technologies such as:

  • Screen readers;
  • Screen magnification software;
  • Voice recognition software;
  • Keyboard-only navigation; and
  • Other accessibility tools.

The experience may vary depending on the operating system, browser, assistive technology, and third-party software being used.

For the best experience, users should generally keep browsers and assistive technologies updated to current supported versions.

5. KEYBOARD NAVIGATION

We aim for important website functions to be accessible without requiring a mouse.

Users should generally be able to navigate interactive elements such as:

  • Menus;
  • Links;
  • Buttons;
  • Forms;
  • Podcast controls;
  • Radio controls;
  • Search features; and
  • Other interactive content

using keyboard commands where technically supported.

If you experience a keyboard navigation issue, please contact us so that we can investigate it.

6. IMAGES AND ALTERNATIVE TEXT

We aim to provide meaningful alternative text for important images where appropriate.

Decorative images may be configured so that assistive technologies can ignore them.

Because The Culture Radio contains a large amount of artwork supplied by artists, podcasters, creators, labels, networks, and other third parties, some externally supplied images may not initially contain complete accessibility descriptions.

We may improve or supplement this information where reasonably practicable.

7. AUDIO AND RADIO CONTENT

The Culture Radio provides substantial audio-based content, including:

  • Live and scheduled radio;
  • Music programming;
  • Podcasts;
  • Interviews;
  • Talk programming;
  • DJ mixes; and
  • Other audio content.

Certain audio content may not have a written transcript.

Where transcripts, descriptions, show notes, episode descriptions, or other text alternatives are available, we may make them accessible through the applicable page or feature.

Because some programming is live or supplied by third parties, transcripts may not always be available.

8. VIDEO CONTENT

Video content published by The Culture Radio or embedded from third-party services may include captions or other accessibility features where available.

For original video content, we may work toward providing captions or transcripts when reasonably practicable.

Third-party video platforms may provide their own captioning and accessibility features.

We do not control all accessibility functionality available through independent third-party video services.

9. PODCAST ACCESSIBILITY

Podcast creators are encouraged to provide clear episode titles, descriptions, show notes, and transcripts where practical.

For podcasts supplied through external RSS feeds, The Culture Radio may display accessibility information provided by the original podcast Creator or hosting provider.

We may not be able to independently create transcripts for every third-party podcast listed on the Platform.

10. FORMS

We aim to make forms understandable and usable by providing appropriate:

  • Labels;
  • Instructions;
  • Error messages;
  • Required-field indicators; and
  • Keyboard functionality.

Forms may include:

  • Contact forms;
  • Creator submissions;
  • Music submissions;
  • Podcast submissions;
  • Advertising inquiries;
  • Account functions; and
  • Privacy requests.

If a form prevents you from completing a request because of an accessibility issue, please contact us directly.

11. COLOR AND VISUAL PRESENTATION

We aim to use text and interface elements with reasonable contrast and readability.

We also try not to rely solely on color to communicate important information where practicable.

Users may be able to use browser or device accessibility tools to:

  • Increase text size;
  • Zoom content;
  • Adjust contrast;
  • Use dark or high-contrast modes; or
  • Apply other display preferences.

12. MOBILE ACCESSIBILITY

The Culture Radio may be accessed through mobile browsers and mobile applications.

We aim to provide mobile experiences that support:

  • Touch accessibility;
  • Readable text;
  • Appropriate button sizing;
  • Screen readers;
  • Device accessibility settings; and
  • Responsive layouts.

Accessibility may vary depending on the device, operating system, and application version.

13. THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND SERVICES

The Culture Radio uses and may link to or embed services provided by third parties.

These may include:

  • Streaming providers;
  • Podcast hosting providers;
  • Video platforms;
  • Social media platforms;
  • Advertising providers;
  • Payment services;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Embedded players; and
  • Other technology services.

We do not control the accessibility of independent third-party websites, applications, players, or services.

We encourage third-party providers to maintain accessible experiences, but their accessibility practices are governed by their own policies and systems.

14. CREATOR-SUPPLIED CONTENT

The Culture Radio may display content submitted by:

  • Artists;
  • DJs;
  • Podcasters;
  • Content creators;
  • Advertisers;
  • Sponsors;
  • Producers; and
  • Other contributors.

Creators are encouraged to consider accessibility when submitting:

  • Images;
  • Videos;
  • Captions;
  • Graphics;
  • Written descriptions;
  • Podcast show notes; and
  • Other materials.

We may request accessible alternatives or make reasonable technical adjustments when appropriate.

15. ONGOING ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS

We recognize that accessibility is not a one-time project.

As The Culture Radio grows, we may review and improve:

  • New website features;
  • Mobile designs;
  • Streaming players;
  • Podcast interfaces;
  • Creator tools;
  • Navigation;
  • Forms;
  • Content presentation; and
  • Other digital experiences.

We may also update our accessibility practices as technologies and recognized standards evolve.

16. KNOWN LIMITATIONS

Some areas of the Platform may have accessibility limitations.

Potential limitations may arise from:

  • Older website content;
  • Legacy code;
  • Third-party plugins;
  • Embedded content;
  • Third-party players;
  • User-generated content;
  • Creator-submitted media;
  • Live programming; or
  • External services.

When we identify a significant accessibility issue within our control, we may work to correct it within a reasonable period based on the nature and complexity of the issue.
