Santos feels much progress has been made in terms of diversity, but there journey is far from over. “Cable TV is a lot more diverse than the film industry,” he says, “but cable still has a long way to go.”

What grade do you give the cable industry on diversity and why?
B-. Cable TV is a lot more diverse than the film industry, but cable still has a long way to go.

What are the television show/s – cable or broadcast – that best embrace diversity?
“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “The Walking Dead,” and “The Man in the High Castle”

My personal election campaign slogan would be…
Inclusivity is Prosperity.
