- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The Super Bowl LX halftime show starring Bad Bunny won seven Emmy Awards during the first night of the 78th Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. The production set a record as the most awarded halftime show in history, surpassing the 2022 performance featuring Dr. Dre and other artists. The awards were granted in categories including musical direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction, and direction. Bad Bunny himself won for best live variety special, and executive producer Jay-Z received his third Emmy for the project.
Brazilian musician and Berklee graduate Miguel Gandelman won the Emmy for Best Musical Direction. Gandelman stated that his primary challenge was coordinating the recording of the band while the singer was on tour in Colombia and Chile. The performance, which aired on NBC in February and featured guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, reached a global audience of 135 million people. This viewership figure broke the previous record of 127 million set by Kendrick Lamar in 2025.
