It isn't hugely expensive. It costs about $1000 to do the captioning on a 90 minute movie.
Where it gets expensive is when you have a live show (you need a trained person with fast typing) or when you have a series (22 one hour episodes of The West Wing, for example, could cost anywhere from $15,000 to $20,000).
The price has nothing to do with the signal. It has everything to do with the labour involved in creating the captions.
