"The Federal Communications Commission just released its report on the ownership of commercial broadcast stations which reveals that as of 2011, whites own 69.4% of the nation's 1,348 television stations. That's up from 63.4% in 2009, when there were 1,187 stations.
"While white ownership increased, most minority ownership decreased. Blacks went from owning 1% of all commercial TV stations in 2009 to just 0.7% in 2011. Asian ownership slipped from 0.8% in 2009 to 0.5% last year. Latino ownership increased slightly from 2.5% to 2.9%.
"Females owned 6.8% of all commercial TV stations in 2011, compared to 5.6% in 2009.
"It is a similar story in radio. Whites own almost 80% of all AM and FM radio stations, with more than 70% being owned by men."
