Latino Public Broadcasting

Latino Public Broadcasting

Latino Public Broadcasting is a non-profit organization that is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with the purpose of addressing issues of cultural significance to the latino population in the United States. It does this by funding the development, production, post-production, acquisition and distribution of non-commercial educational and cultural television that addresses these issues. LPB television programs include dramas, documentaries, comedies, satire and animation. These programs funded by the LPB are then distributed to various PBS stations and to other public telecommunication entities who chose to run their programs. LPB is also part of the National Minority Consortia, an organization composed of several minority public broadcasting organizations who wish to bring more diversity to public broadcasting.

Background

LPB was founded in 1998 by Edward James Olmos and Marlene Dermer, the latter served as the Executive Director until 2002 and currently sits on the Board of Directors. Edward Olmos currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
