Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) is a non-profit organization funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting with the purpose of addressing issues of cultural significance to the Latino population in the United States. It does this by funding the development, production, postproduction, acquisition and distribution of non-commercial educational and cultural television that addresses these issues. LPB television programs include dramas, documentaries (including the series Voces), comedies, satire and animation. These programs funded by the LPB are then distributed to various PBS stations and to other public telecommunication entities that choose to run their programs. LPB is also part of the National Minority Consortia, an organization composed of several minority public broadcasting organizations that wish to bring more diversity to public broadcasting.
