"A primary consequence of Spanish-language television was that it persuaded tens of millions of U.S. Latinos to reidentify as different individuals. The United States never had a 'Hispanic' population. Latinos living across the United States constitute a tapestry of diverse societies and cultures whose peoples characteristically identify themselves by their country of origin. National Spanish-language television would have been impossible without programming, advertising, and initiatives that merged a multiplicity of nationalities into a single U.S. Latino population."
