Bilingual Hispanics Media Use
When Hispanics turn on their televisions over half of them are tuning into an English language show. Read how Bilingual Hispanics live with ease in both worlds.
According to a recent Ipsos U.S. Hispanic Omnibus study, U.S. Hispanics, regardless of whether their language preference at home is English (43%), or Spanish (52%), are turning to either language to meet their needs. When Hispanics turn on their televisions over half of them are tuning into an English language program.
Younger viewers are not the dominating presence in front of the English language small screen. Hispanics, aged 18-34, are actually less likely (54%) than older Hispanics, aged 55+, to prefer English language television (61%). And:
- 52% of Hispanics aged 35-54 prefer English language television.
- 45% percent of Hispanics with children in the household say that they prefer Spanish language television.
- 63% of Hispanic households without children are highly likely to prefer English television

53% of Hispanics read the news and they are looking for information in both languages:
- 53% in English to find out the current affairs in their local U.S. city
- 33% in Spanish to follow up with the news in their home country
- 44% read Spanish newspapers that cover news in their community in the United States. 57%, with an annual household income under $50,000, do so
Cynthia Pelayo, Ipsos senior research manager, says “… many US Hispanics continue to speak primarily Spanish, among their peers, family and friends, to watch television in Spanish and to be involved in cultural community events that are mostly conducted in Spanish.”
She goes on to note that their innate skill to utilize either language is an advantage in functioning in US institutions while preserving their Hispanic heritage.
