How can I get closed captioning to work on ABC?

My CC stopped working on all ABC programming, which come from our local ABC affiliate. This is consistent with all our TVs. CC works on all other channels and networks. The local affiliate says it sees no problems.

To enable closed captioning on ABC, access the settings menu on your TV or cable/satellite box, locate the Closed Captioning or Subtitles option, set it to "On" or "Enabled," and then tune into ABC to check if closed captions are displayed.

Try using a different subtitle generator for captioning your videos and change the formats from .srt to .vtt or vice versa and compare the results.
