The investigative unit of Mexico’s industry regulator has decided in a preliminary decision that Grupo Televisa SAB has substantial power in the pay-TV market, setting the nation’s largest broadcaster up for potential sanctions.

Televisa was also designated Mexico’s dominant broadcaster last year by the regulator.
