The media in the world go through a stage of transition. Between the beatings by the global economic recession and then by processing logic that suffer as a result of changes in technology and the rampant growth of the internet, this is full of shadows and uncertainty and some take advantage of this situation to reign in the chaos. Argentina seems to be a clear example of this we say. Tinelli and ¨ ¨ Dancing with the stars occupy for most of the daily schedule generated content in that country. It is difficult to imagine a program that does not talk about what happened in the show, at least part of it. What is striking is that nothing sufficiently transcendent, beyond some low-level fighting occurs in the program. So how is that comes to expand without limits in a country that was one of the pioneers of Latin America in different formats, and has exported worldwide talent?. The explanation comes from the economic structure rather than the artistic. Free air signals form an oligopoly in Argentina, as exist in most countries of our continent.

It is a form of union, and they all speak the same thing, thus regulating the offer, creating a poster ¨ ¨ in some way. Not invested in major programs and less on fiction that is more expensive. It is preferable to talk about what happened in Showmatch, issue two or three videos of the fights generated at the show and so profitable spaces. The origin of the situation is so difficult to manage such costly signals in the hands of business groups that are likely to seek more political capital than business. In addition, competition with canned competing on equal terms is also felt. Therefore, come to this situation is not conducive to the industry and viewers will slowly driving to the low quality of the generated. Lose all, going from bad to worse, Tinelli wins. Some years ago a comment to an investor who aroused the curiosity of this writing. When I explained the situation of fixed telephony in Paraguay and that this was a state monopoly held my surprise was receiving a clear attitude of pleasure to my partner saying, ¨ Oh, a monopoly! Can you invest in the stock? ¨. They understood what it meant in the business world that feature of the economy, for some ¨ ¨ gold mines to the consumer and the whole economy, generating inefficiency. (more ...)
