  TheStreet.com: Poor Reception for Televisa's Books
Televisa and many other corporations in Mexico, where prices are rising at about 17% a year, use inflation accounting to give profits an artificial boost, it is alleged by three of the analysts.
Televisa is allowed to write up the notional contract value to its inflation-adjusted figure, even though the company does not actually receive any more cash from the client.
And the Televisa spokesman we spoke with defended the company's practice on the basis that its costs are also indexed to inflation, thereby offsetting to a great degree the boosts to revenue.

 TELEVISA, UNIVISION IN MEXICAN STANDOFF By ZACHERY KOUWE - New York Post Online Edition: Business   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Televisa, which provides many hit shows to Univision, yesterday told the winning bidding group that it plans to sell its 11 percent stake in the broadcaster instead of joining the group.
Despite the harsh-sounding threat, Televisa still has an ironclad deal with Univision to provide it with Spanish-language shows until 2017 and it could only offer English language shows in the U.S. "We would not expect any significant impact on Univision's ratings," wrote Bank of America analyst Jonathan Jacoby.
But sources close to the situation said yesterday's move by Televisa and its 38-year-old chief Emilio Azcarraga is merely a negotiating tactic meant to strong-arm the Saban group into giving up more control of Univision after the deal closes.

“Televisa is prepared to discuss with you (the consortium) a sale of its shares of Univision as soon as possible based on the present value of the price per share set forth in the merger agreement,” Grupo Televisa said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 Political Affairs Magazine - The Tail Wags the Dog: Mexico’s “Televisa Law” Another Nail in the Coffin of Fox’s ...
The changes, which have been derisively referred to as the “Televisa Law” because their chief beneficiaries will be the country’s already all-powerful media corporations like Televisa (which is a major shareholder in Univision), sped through the legislative process at an alarming rate before being approved by the Senate on March 30.
Such malignant operations are nothing new for Televisa, which for many years served as a loyal mouthpiece of the authoritarian PRI regime.
During the 1980s, when PRI presidents made ample use of the mass media for political ends, it was joked that Televisa was “a soldier of the president.” Formal democracy arrived in Mexico in 2000, but seems to have brought with it the seeds of a now troubling reversal.
