Locally produced programming constitutes approximately one-half of these stations' output. The rest is made up of imports from Spanish-speaking countries and from the United States.
Cable television is also available throughout the island.
In contrast to broadcast television, Puerto Rican cable television is dominated by English-language programming on packages of channels from the United States. To begin, we would like to determine what role, if any, television plays in people's lives. Of course, television is not a monolithic construct, for it is a medium through which various types of content go to various types of people. A crude classification of television content would be a dichotomy of entertainment versus information. We will be referring to some data from the TGI Puerto Rico study, which is a multimedia study conducted by Mediafax Inc to collect demographics, media consumption, product usage and lifestyle information.
