Re: Question!

I live in Mexico, and as far as I know public broadcasting is totally free for the users? They make their money back through ads. Holy shit, there are so many ads in free channels. Like, around 5 minutes long, some commercial breaks? It's insane.

The biggest company is called Televisa and they've got their fingers in all the media pies. All of them. It would be a monopoly if it wasn't for TV Azteca (which also likes to the play the "my fingers in all the money pies" game), and possibly others? But those two are the big ones.

I doubt they will be going away any time soon, they're frankly too powerful politically and economically to just fade away. Something drastic would have to happen, like a game changer at every level, not just media.

Wait how can it be a public broadcaster when it isn't owned by the state?

I assumed that "public" meant "free/open" in this context? sorry, my bad then! D:

Public Broadcast is the name that is given to all "state" run channels, and everyone's "big brother" is the BBC.

And I get your confusion, because if I remember correctly Mexico, like the US don't really do public broadcasting to the same degree as most European countries.

And I forgot to say thank you in my first comment, so thank you Anon!

Ah, I see! No, we really don't have anything like that either (this is all very interesting, actually, thank you for the thread and for your replies!)

If it helps, there is this: (you could run it through a translator?)

Um, some channels appear to come from universities, another one from the National Counsel for Culture and the Arts, others from private companies, and there is also a non-profit organization that clusters together 50 radio and television broadcasters

I am learning things too, it seems :V
