Accessibility Statement
BMT is committed to making BMT.tv usable by as many people as possible, whatever device, ability or assistive technology you bring to it. We build and test against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, level AA.
Compliance status
BMT.tv is designed to be compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 AA standard.
Accessibility is never finished. Parts of the service. Particularly newly launched features and third-party players embedded in live events, may not yet meet every criterion. Where we know about a gap, we are working on it, and we would rather hear about a problem than have you work around it. Your feedback goes straight to the people who can fix it.
Measures we take
These are the practical things we do on every screen we ship, across web and TV apps.
Semantic HTML
Pages are built from real headings, lists, landmarks and buttons, so assistive technology can announce structure and let people jump straight to what they need.
Keyboard navigation
Every control can be reached and operated with a keyboard or a TV remote, in a logical order, with a focus outline you can always see.
Colour contrast
Text and interface colours are checked against WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios in both our dark and light themes, and colour is never the only signal for meaning.
Screen reader compatibility
Images carry meaningful alternative text, form fields carry labels, and dynamic updates such as search results are announced politely.
Captions and audio description
Every title ships with captions, our Core titles add five caption languages, and all BMT Studios originals include an audio-described track at launch.
Reduced motion
Autoplay previews, parallax and large transitions respect the system reduced-motion setting, so nothing moves that you did not ask to move.
Testing and monitoring
A mix of automated tooling and real people using the product the way you would.
Automated checks on every change
axe and Lighthouse run against our pages during review. Contrast, missing labels and broken landmarks block a release rather than becoming a backlog ticket.
Manual keyboard and remote passes
Each new screen is walked through with a keyboard on web and a directional pad on TV apps before it ships. Automated tools cannot judge focus order or whether a journey actually makes sense.
Screen reader testing
We test with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows and TalkBack on Android, covering sign-in, browsing, playback and billing.
Periodic independent audits
A full WCAG 2.2 AA audit is commissioned twice a year, including testing with disabled people. Findings are prioritised alongside product work, not after it.
