Abstract
MADRAZO LAJOUS, Alejandro and ZAMBRANO PORRAS, José Luis. La ley de Televisa ante la Suprema Corte. Isonomía [online]. 2007, n.26, pp.71-100. ISSN 1405-0218.
In the midst of the 2006 electoral process, Congress approved a set of legislative reforms to the federal Radio and Television, and Telecommunications laws. The reforms were immediately challenged as unconstitutional before the Supreme Court by a Senate minority. This article analyzes the case currently before the Supreme Court, popularly known as the "Ley Televisa" or "Media Law". The first section explains the basic regulatory scheme of the telecommunications and electronic media markets that the legislative reforms set up. The second section explains the central arguments put forth by the Senate minority constitutional challenge, in which the authors represent the plaintiffs. The third and last section explores the possible directions that an eventual opinion by the Supreme Court can take, focusing on those that have constitutional implications beyond the case at hand.
