With today’s news that the Comcast-NBCU agreement has been approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), we commend the Commission and especially FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn for their tireless advocacy on behalf of communities of color throughout this process. Now begins the work on implementing the historic Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) signed by Latino and other minority organizations and the new Comcast-NBCU entity that will provide a host of new media opportunities for Latinos and other minorities.
We applaud Comcast for their commitment to increasing diversity in the new entity and for signing these MOUs with our respective organizations. We believe we have the support in place and have done the work necessary to make this agreement a very positive development for the Latino community. We are looking forward to making the promise of the MOU a reality.
