Spanish term or phrase: concesiones (in radio broadcasting context)
9 sociedades filiales, comprendiendo 142 concesiones de radiodifusión.

Declara la consultante que, a través de su filial Consorcio Radial de Chile (CRC), opera 89 concesiones de radiodifusión (2 mediante arrendamiento) desde
Arica a Punta Arenas, conformando 4 cadenas de radio bajo los nombres “40
Principales”, “Bésame”, Radioactiva” y “W Radio”. Por su parte, Claxson opera a
través de sus filiales 142 concesiones de radiodifusión en distintas localidades...

1.3. Las frecuencias pertenecientes a Claxson, que son parte de la operación
consultada, equivalen al 7,5% del total de concesiones asignadas al país.
Producto de la operación, GRL, -directa o indirectamente- incrementaría su
número de concesiones radiofónicas tan sólo a un 12,2% de total de concesiones
radiofónicas asignadas al país. Y sin que su participación de mercado resultante
supere el 40% en las diversas zonas de referencia, salvo en los casos
excepcionales de cinco localidades, Villarrica, Coyhaique, Quilpue, Tongoy y San
Felipe;

Que, con el objeto de incrementar la desafiabilidad del
mercado en los procesos de renovación de concesiones, debe evitarse la
exclusión de agentes económicos relevantes y con experiencia en el medio
nacional, como es el caso del grupo Claxson

These are extracts from the Chilean TDLC Resolution No. 20/2007, full text available at www.fne.cl, under "Jurisprudencia".

I'm not sure how to translate "concesiones" in this context as I'm not familiar with the radio broadcasting field and so don't know whether it's franchises/concessions/licences or something else. Not sure what we're talking about in this context.

Thanks for any help!

Explanation:
I think that ¨concesiones de radiodifusión¨ are equivalent to radio broadcasting licenses... Groups are granted a frequency range from the government over which they can broadcast

agree  philgoddard: Or franchises or concessions, as the asker suggests.

agree  Jennifer Levey: In the Chilean context, the only correct translation is 'license'. In practice, each license corresponds to only one frequency (not a 'frequency range') hence the apparent merging of the concepts 'frequencia' and 'concesión' in the source text.
