The entertainment cultural industries in Latin America have been developed and strengthened by the influence they exert on formal powers, through the use of factual powers. In the case of México, this power has been exercised in the field of electronic media, through the channels that currently operate on the open television signal; for that matter, we must observe the presence of a dominant player: Televisa. The weight and interference of factual powers: Radio and Television, have shown the fragility of the Mexican State and its limited presence in the face of the commercial bet of information. Although the Ley Federal de Radio y Televisión promoted substantial reforms in 2014, especially related to the rights of audiences, these were marginalized in the face of the factual powers proposing, instead, the possibility of Self-Regulation and Ethics Codes. With this, the control of programming times, and specially, its content and advertising spaces, were left to the hands of the media industries, turning their audiences into information and advertising recipients, and with limited channels for citizenship participation. For this reason, the development of a movement of resistance and debate, from the audiences, has been managed to promote a new agenda in México, ending with the resolution of the Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, published a resolution to the Law approved in 2017 and related to the 256 article, declaring it unconstitutional, and thus resurfacing its validity and the reestablishment of the power of the Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, with respect to the guidelines and the audiences rights.
