The Spanish language will be televised

As the number of Latino characters on television increases, so does airtime for the Spanish language.

Oye, have you noticed? All over the TV dial, se habla espaƱol. Si. Si. It's true. Many of your favorite TV characters are speaking in Spanish. Sometimes it's just a line of dialogue sprinkled in to add a dash of authenticity. Sometimes it's a full-blown conversation with or without subtitles. Sometimes it's even that (lazy? or is it naughty?) bicultural hybrid, Spanglish.
