and more...60 radio stations...

"Mexico City is served by the Sistema de Transporte Colectivo Metro, an extensive metro system (207 km), the largest in Latin America, the first portions of which were opened in 1969. The system has 11 lines in 175 stations and a 12th line is planned to be constructed in the year 2008 along with a suburban rail system (currently under construction) similar to the French RER system. One of the busiest in the world, the metro transports approximately 4 million people every day, surpassed only by Moscow's (7.5 million), Tokyo's (5.9 million), and New York City's (4.9 million). It is heavily subsidized, and has the lowest fares in the world, each trip costing MXN 2 (around EUR 0.13 or USD 0.19). A number of stations display Pre-Columbian artifacts and architecture that were discovered during the metro's construction...

Mexico City is the country's most important center for the television, advertising, music, newspaper and book publishing industries. Two national newspapers are published in the city: El Universal and Excélsior. Other important regional newspapers are Reforma (from Grupo Reforma), and La Jornada.

There are 60 radio stations operating in the city and 11 free-access TV channels. The two most important private Mexican broadcast networks (Televisa and TV Azteca) are headquartered in Mexico City. Other important local networks are Canal 11, Canal 22 and Teveunam."

Sherpa, thank you for all the extensive info included in all your posts. It is encouraging. I didn't know all that. With this kind of data, $955.56 pesos won't be as big barrier as I initially thought.
