  62. John Sinclair explains the dominant position of Televisa as follows: “As elsewhere, the national networking of television contributed to the nation-building aspirations of governments in both countries, and congenial relations with governments assisted the rise to market dominance of one major player in each case—Televisa in Mexico, and Globo in Brazil—which, in turn, became the base for internationalisation.” See Sinclair, “The De-Centering of Cultural Flows,” 34; Nathaniel Parish Flannery, “Mexico’s Media Monopoly vs. the People,” Fortune, September 14, 2012, accessed May 30, 2015, http://fortune.com/2012/09/14/mexicos-media-monopoly-vs-the-people/.
