FCC to study Hispanic TV diversity
As of 2012, some 53 million Americans are of Hispanic origin, and most of them watch television. As part of their ongoing look at diversity in media, the FCC is undertaking its “first systematic examination of the Hispanic television market.”
This will include:
- The impact of Hispanic-owned television stations on Hispanic-oriented programming
- Hispanic viewership in selected local television markets
- The extent of Hispanic-oriented programming on US broadcast television
- The role of digital multicasting in increasing the amount of Hispanic-oriented programming.
As the FCC said, “The Commission has long understood that diverse participation in the broadcast industry and access to diverse sources of information are vital to a robust democracy.”
Speed Matters has long supported cultural, racial and gender diversity in all public media.
