Jillian BÁez and Manuel AvilÉs-Santiago offer an authoritative and insightful lens for this pivotal work. Spanish-Language Television: Cultural and Industrial Transformations presents a powerful case for the creation of a distinct subfield within media studies and Latinx media studies focused on Spanish-language television. Readers gain a deep understanding of how Spanish was central to the foundation of Spanish-language television, while also tracing the ways in which the language has evolved in tandem with technological advancements, demographic changes, and more. In the end, BÁez and AvilÉs-Santiago reveal how television and its Latinx audience have mutually influenced each other, undergoing a dynamic and reciprocal transformation. - Dolores Inés Casillas, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Sounds of Belonging: U.S. Spanish-language Radio and Public Advocacy Spanish-Language Television: Cultural and Industrial Transformations offers insights into pressing challenges within the industry, such as advocating for a more critical examination of Spanish-language television’s approach to race. In this ever-changing panorama, nothing is set in stone. Therefore, Jillian BÁez and Manuel AvilÉs-Santiago provide an outstanding contribution to how we rethink our notions of what television is, who it serves, and how content should be circulated. - Jessica Retis, University of Arizona, coeditor of Reporting on Latino/a/x Communities: A Guide for Journalists
