Overview
- Resolution 7/26 was posted in the City’s Official Gazette, approving the pliegos to concession the management of Canal de la Ciudad, AM 1110 and FM 92.7 for a 60‑month term.
- The published bases set a total canon of ARS 645.225 million for the TV signal and ARS 73.74 million for the two radios over the period, with operators obliged to program 24/7, reserve 30% of airtime for institutional and public‑interest content, and provide studios within CABA.
- Bidders must show media‑sector experience and submit detailed investment plans, and the concessionaire may develop streaming platforms and apps with accessibility tools such as captioning and transcriptions.
- Unión por la Patria, the Left Front and UCR figures call the move unconstitutional under Article 47 of the CABA Constitution and Article 44 of the national media law, while SUTECBA and SiPreBa prepare amparo actions as workers flag risks to roughly 500 jobs.
- City officials frame the shift as an efficiency and cost‑saving measure, and the next step is the formal public tender call that will set deadlines for submitting offers.
