Demographic Diversity on Cable: Have the New Cable Channels Made a Difference in the Representation of Gender, Race, and Age?
Kubey, Robert; And Others
Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, v39 n4 p459-71 Fall 1995
Examines the issue of diversity and cable television from a content analysis of 1,035 randomly chosen moments from four channels: network, cable, independent, and public. Results demonstrate that there has been little movement towards more accurate proportional representation of historically underrepresented demographic groups across the 32 channel offerings of 1 typical cable system.
