EQUITY BROADCASTING


'Equity Broadcasting' is a broadcasting company based in Little Rock, Arkansas that owns and operates 31 television stations across the United States plus one radio station (KWBF-FM) in the Little Rock market. The company has a focus on Hispanic and Asian American communities in large markets while owning a combination of English-language network affiliates in medium and small markets. In late 2005, Equity launched the Retro Television Network, a programming service with a lineup of "classic" shows from the 1960s-1980s which currently airs in part or full in five markets (controversially replacing UPN in one).
A trait unique to Equity Broadcasting is their usage of a centralized groupwide hub (called by Equity the Central Automated Satellite Hub, or C.A.S.H, system) where all production, programming, and master control is handled from a facility adjacent to the company's headquarters. Though such hubbing is done on regional scales for many groups, no other company has done it to the scale and magintude of Equity and C.A.S.H.
