CBS and Fox Studios Lead TV Challenge to Cast More People with Disabilities

The Ruderman Family Foundation has announced the preliminary results for its Ruderman TV Challenge to audition and cast more actors with disabilities, with CBS and 20th Century Fox leading the way seven months in.

The study found that CBS leads in the employment with 11 series and pilots having hired performers with disabilities across the network, while 20th Century Fox is excelling in the auditioning of performers with disabilities. 60 percent of 20th Century Fox drama shows (14 out of 23) and 70 percent of its comedy sh
