Grupo Ratensa

Grupo Ratensa (Radio y Televisión de Nicaragua, S.A.) is the Nicaraguan subsidiary of Albavisión, a Latin American media company owned by Guatemalan-Mexican-American businessman Remigio Ángel González. The company operates three main television channels—channels 9, 10 and 11—and previously had interests in channel 4, which González established with local Sandinista partners. In addition, Ratensa operates a network of radio stations. It claims to be "the most complete media network and the network with the widest reach in national television."[1]

Since 2015, Ángel González has also controlled Televicentro (Channel 2) as an independent operation from Ratensa, under the supervision of members of the Nicaraguan government. Together, González and the family of President Daniel Ortega form a media duopoly in Nicaragua.[2]
