Clarin group presents plan to divide media assets in six different companies
The Argentine media group Clarin presented a plan Monday to divide its media assets into six different companies to comply with a controversial media antitrust law. The move was announced shortly after the head of the authority set up to enforce the law offered assurances that the group would be allowed to keep its most valuable TV and radio licenses.

Nov 05th, 2013 - 12:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You clearly haven't taken into account the spirit of the law just the letter.
Where's the provision for expropriation and take over by La Campora?
@1 Have to agree. The “unbiased” argie “government” will simply point out that all the “business units” belong to Clarin. It's not so much that Clarin will be “gagged”, it will be destroyed. That's CFK's intention. What else would one expect from a vindictive bitch? Shouldn't have called her an ugly slag, I suppose!
Nov 05th, 2013 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What the government does not understand is that market share can’t be divided by law and decree… They believe it’s a matter of distribution, if there are more channels and radios people will necessarily shift in their viewing and not listen to Radio Mitre and Canal 13.
Nov 05th, 2013 - 01:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ultimately the government doesn’t care about the law; this is all intended to destroy Clarin, that is what it intended for in 2009
Telefe, Canal 9, America does not fulfill the law and the AFSCA will not enforce them as they are government friendly.
Brilliant and clarifying opinion by Lanata on the matter last Sunday night, hopefully you can get it translated because it’s priceless

Nov 05th, 2013 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You assume that Clarin Group will keep ALL its present operations within these new groupings.
I read it that these listed are the *retained* companies following the offering up for selling-off of the rest.
The retained companies are shown here as the re-structured management groups under the global Clarin Group executive.
I may be wrong ... insufficient information, as yet.
Lanata Again...

Lanata vs Lanata
How schizofrenic isn't that?
Lanata has a big mouth and it's fueled by cash in his pocket.

But you are right, that ojete was a REALLY hard nut to crack, you are basically a cryptologist.
Here.
Have a shouldertap.
If we are picking on people's language skills, can anyone tell me what the hell a shouldertap is?

You sure we are talking about the same man?
Oh don't give up Stevie!

Sure Stevie!
Nov 06th, 2013 - 12:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You TAP that!
If the clever b*stards at Clarin have found a loophole, surely it can be closed? If one owner can own six media groups that add up to exactly what they had before in one group the entire political and legal system has agreed was too big, thats not the spirit of the law, and perhaps not even its letter, right? Whether she's going in 2015 or not, Clarin carrying on exactly as before is not going to be Cristinita's legacy, I expect her to make sure of that =)
Nov 08th, 2013 - 01:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0The law is the law.
Nov 08th, 2013 - 04:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0And Cristina's legacy is intact. Generations of Argentineans will remember the legacy from the past decade.
And she will take ALL the credit. No one will ever want to share the 'credit' with her.
Peronistas have been trying to muzzle the press for 60 years , starting with La Prensa in about 1948 . Clarin will still be there in 2015 .
Nov 08th, 2013 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BK : Cristina and her supporters own as many TV channels and newspapers as Clarin Group , plus control of Channel 7 which is the state channel .
Despite all that propaganda at her disposal she still only got 33% of the national vote and lost BA .
The latest rumour is she is out of the country already , being treated in Switzerland or possibly Cuba . A stroke has left her half paralysed . You won't be seeing her again , so best you have a little cry .
#17 Shall we take a bet, if with nothing on the line but our credibility, that we will see her again? I'm certainly not going to believe she's paralysed and never going to come back because “I read it on the internet” - that infallible source lol
Nov 08th, 2013 - 08:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This plan will almost certainly be rejected by Sabattella. Clarín can sell either Canal 13 or Cablevisión, either way they're screwed because whatever they keep will most likely be taken by force by the government. CFK is determined to destroy Clarin, even if she falls with them.
