The media law, in its articles 38 , 39th and 40th, he points out that sporting events of “general interest”, as the national teams of football and basketball for example, “must be issued through a television broadcasting service in open and direct and simultaneous”. The problem is that the text does not explain adequately how to interpret the terms “defining instances” and “qualifying instances”, which generates a quite debatable situation.

The National Institution has jurisdiction in the matter because it is not yet operational the Council of Audiovisual Communication. The president of the institution, Juan Faroppa, acknowledged this morning that the issue was being discussed, but past noon was decided that not be issued
The private channels have not spoken about it while driving one challenge to various articles of the media law, which they consider unconstitutional and between which is precisely the free broadcasting of events, which is pending before the Supreme Court.
