Mexico's IFT Names Sporting Events That 'Preponderant' Players Cannot Air Exclusively

Mexico's Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) released the list of sports events that cannot be broadcast exclusively by broadcaster Televisa or telecom América Móvil, the so-called "preponderant" organizations in those sectors. Neither Televisa nor América Móvil will be able to exclusively broadcast the Mexican men's national football team's games, the opening and closing ceremonies of summer Olympics; the opening and closing ceremonies, the quarterfinals, the semifinals and the finals of the World Cup and the two-legged Liga MX final. Mexico considers any company controlling more than 50% of its respective market "preponderant" (IFT).
