The FCC X Files-Mariana Pineda Defends Univision

Mariana Pineda from Univision News in Austin defends Univision at the FCC Hearings in Austin Texas in Sept 2006. She answers to claims from the community that Univision and other Big Media outlets do not service a large part of the local Hispanic community, especially Tejanos (Texans who were in Texas before it was annexed from Mexico). The FCC is currently looking at the rules on media ownership. These rules determine how many radio, TV and newspapers one company can own in one city. The Media companies want these rules relaxed so they can own more stations/newspapers in the same city. To file a complaint/comment on this issue or to relay your personal experiences with the FCC, go to fcc.gov. This clip was for San Antonio Public Access TV. Produced by 411 Productions.

She said nothing to provide an answer to the problem. Instead she was insulted that we wanted more local coverage and representation.

She seemed more concerned for her own. She forgot that as a representative of a hispanic venue she represents us all. Texas and Mexico and whomever recedes here.

mr jerry avila you know the truth if theres no tejano shows its cuz young tejanos are not intersted in their culture so start telling your kids to be proud to be tejanos cus you aint doing the job right mr
