This book traces U.S. Spanish-language television's development from the 1960s through present day, focusing on how business, law, politics, demographic change and technological transformation have interwoven during five phases of industry development. "The rich and underappreciated history of Hispanic television takes center stage in Kenton T. Wilkinson's Spanish-language Television in the United States: Fifty Years of Development. (?) The book brings an academic thoroughness to the story but remains accessible and fascinating for readers both inside and outside the industry." --Dade Hayes, Broadcasting & Cable "This is an essential book for those interested in understanding the history and resounding success of Spanish-language TV in the U.S." -- Alejandro Alvarado, Florida International University, USA
