2006 Programming Guide
A Staff Report
This year’s expanded guide offers descriptions of almost 80 channels, along with some of the industry’s top distributors to private cable operators and independent telephone companies. There’s more family and religious programming, more music (especially for post-teens), and far more non-fiction (history, biography, nature and science). On the music front, MTV alone has 22 channels. For science, Discovery has 17. For biography and history, A&E has 7. We’ve included some ethnic programming, especially for the Hispanic and Asian markets. For more listings in that area, see Where to Find Foreign-Language Programming (www.broadbandproperties.com/2005issues/jun05issues/Kashmere_june.pdf) and Spotlight on Hispanic Programming (www.broadbandproperties.com/2005issues/jul05issues/programming_july.pdf) For more on family and religions programming, see Tuning in to Religious and Faith-Based Networks, at www.broadbandproperties.com/2005issues/aug05issues/Tuning in to Religious and Faith-based networks pg. 44.pdf.
Staff members participating in the production of this section included Irene Gonzales and Brooke Mercer.
