19. ANTITRUST LAWS LIMITING CAPITAL CONCENTRATION IN THE PRINT MEDIA

There is no specific legislation for print media.

The Constitution in Article 50, Paragraph 2, states: ?Every commercial or industrial organization in trusteeship shall be under the state comptroller.?

There is, though, legislation governing radio and television: Decree-Law 14,670 of June 27, 1977, and its enabling legislation prohibit a person from having full or partial ownership of more than two frequencies in each of the three broadcast bands; neither may he be full or partial owner of more than three frequencies in total in the three bands (AM, FM, TV).
