Charter was proud to partner once again with Smithsonian Channel on a series of virtual panel discussions, this time featuring elected officials, local arts organizations, and the folk music group Our Native Daughters. The events celebrated the release of Smithsonian Channel’s documentary, Reclaiming History: Our Native Daughters, a film about the folk group’s four musicians, who share important stories about Black history through their music.  

During Women’s History Month 2021, there was no shortage of trailblazing women to celebrate and honor, and Charter had the privilege of hosting or participating in numerous events highlighting achievements made by women around the country.

This week Charter celebrated the upcoming launch of the Black News Channel, the first and only African American-focused 24/7 news network. We are excited to be one of the first pay TV providers to offer the channel on our line-ups in some of our biggest markets starting in January.

Spectrum is proud to partner with TV One’s CLEO TV, a lifestyle and entertainment network targeting millennial and gen X women of color for their SHE SPEAKS. WE LISTEN! tour. CLEO SPEAKS is aimed at giving dynamic women a platform to speak about their diverse experiences. The women profiled in the series reveal the personal and emotional journeys that have shaped their careers and influenced their success.

Charter was proud to team up with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, County Executive Chris Abele, and Chief of Police Alfonso Morales to welcome the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and celebrate its 90th Annual LULAC National Convention and Exposition. At the “Wisconsin Celebration” event supporting local LULAC programs, Charter Regional Vice President Gary Underwood introduced keynote speaker Governor Evers.

Recently, Charter’s Washington D.C. office had the opportunity team up with the Duke Ellington School of the Performing Arts. Established in 1974, the Duke Ellington School is the sole D.C. public high school to offer a dual curriculum encompassing professional arts training and academic enrichment in preparation for college and careers in the arts. 

During Black History Month, Charter was proud to partner with Smithsonian Channel to present a series of screenings of the new original documentary, “The Green Book: Guide to Freedom.”

The Latino community is important to both our country, and Charter Communications, America’s fastest growing TV, internet and voice company.  Between 2015 and 2020, Latinos will account for 52 percent of U.S. population growth*.  To successfully serve this community, companies must understand cultural nuances and product needs, and deliver for them commercially and beyond.

At Charter, we are striving to integrate diversity and inclusion into all aspects of our business.

Having a strong community starts with good-paying jobs. When jobs come to a town, neighborhoods and families benefit. Yet for too long in some communities, the number of jobs has been shrinking instead of growing. To help reverse that trend, Charter Communications is committed to hiring 20,000 workers by 2020. That’s why I am so proud to lead our first fully bilingual call center in McAllen where today we are holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Charter Communications has long been supportive of independent programmers and believes it is vitally important to partner with multicultural networks to ensure that our customers have access to diverse news, education and entertainment.

El compromiso de Charter con la comunidad latina es duradero y real. Estamos orgullosos de haber desarrollado una de las ofertas de programación en español más sólidas del país, con más de 75 canales que cubren deportes en vivo, entretenimiento y noticias, incluyendo los canales de Charter, Spectrum NY1 Noticias, que ofrece noticias 24/7 en la ciudad de Nueva York y Spectrum Deportes, la primera red deportiva regional en español del país.

We are proud that we’ve developed one of the country’s most robust Spanish-language programming offerings, with more than 75 channels covering live sports, entertainment and news including Charter owned Spectrum NY1 Noticias that provides news 24/7 throughout New York City and Spectrum Deportes, the first Spanish-language regional sports network in the country.

As we think about our company today and where we want it to be going forward, Charter is committed to ensuring that we reflect and support the communities we serve.

CHCI announced today that Charter Communications will significantly support its mission to develop the next generation of Latino leaders.

Charter Communications agreed Friday to fill its board with minorities and appoint a chief diversity officer after it finalizes a $55 billion merger with Time Warner Cable.

At Charter, we are proud of our longstanding commitment to independent and diverse programming. We currently offer more than 100 minority-focused networks, including Bounce TV, TV One, Fuse, and El Ray. Charter also offers our customers more Spanish-language programming than any other major provider.
