The Federal Telecommunications Institute said they have approved plans to
open bidding for two new nationwide TV channels, challenging the long-standing
dominance of the country’s main network.
The move is aimed at increasing competition in an industry where the Televisa network holds about 70 percent of non-cable viewership. The smaller competitor, TV Azteca, is a former government network that was privatized in the 1990s.
The decision could actually open the way for Carlos Slim to get into television. His America Movil company controls about a 70 percent market share in cellular telephones and 80 percent of land lines. Slim has been trying to get into the television sector for a long time.
