I work in a large corporate office. There is a diversity initiative here. There are lots of diverse people from top to bottom within the organization. Same with a number of other organizations that I have worked in during the past decade.

On camera talent on MTV is now extremely diverse.

As far as TV news anchors. The 2 big metropolitans LA and NY have many diverse anchors and news reporters. I cannot speak for the smaller regions.

Connie Chung was tapped at one time to do the Evening News, and research showed she wasn't competitive. Soledad O'Brien has been jumping from group to group.

There is a market for a portion of it. It's just not the diversity bar that you have put up. IMHO American TV was much more diverse as far as sitcoms in the 70's with GoodTimes, Jeffersons, Chico and the Man, because you didn't have the spread of markets on cable like MTV, BET, Bravo, Lifetime, etc.
