Entravision Communications, ZGS Communications and public interest groups the Media Alliance and The Hispanic Institute joined new broadcaster coalition TVfreedom.org, the organization said in a press release Monday (http://bit.ly/1obSU7N). “In the retransmission debate, the critical voice of the Latino consumer has been lost,” said Hispanic Institute President Gus West. TVfreedom, formed last week by a collection of broadcaster associations and network affiliate groups, said in its introductory press release that its goal is to hold multichannel video programming distributors “accountable” for programming blackouts and rising cable bills.
