- 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.

Boca Juniors secured a 3 to 1 victory over Deportivo Recoleta in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16, while São Paulo and Bolívar played to a 1 to 1 draw. The Boca Juniors match took place at the Estadio Tomas Adolfo Duco in Huracán because the Bombonera was undergoing field conditioning. Recoleta took an early lead in the fifth minute through Pedro Ríos, but Boca Juniors responded in the second half. Santiago Ascacibar, Milton Delgado, and Leonel Flores scored for the Argentine side. The match was marked by a red card for Recoleta's Wilfrido Baez and an unusual occurrence where Boca Juniors took the kickoff at the start of both halves. The second leg will be held in Asunción, Paraguay, on August 18. In the other matchup, São Paulo faced Bolívar at the Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz, which is located at an altitude of 3,650 meters. Arboleda scored for São Paulo in the first half, but Melgar equalized for Bolívar in the second half. The return match is scheduled for August 18 at the Morumbis stadium in São Paulo. The winner of the Boca Juniors and Recoleta series will face the winner of the São Paulo and Bolívar series in the quarterfinals. Other round of 16 matchups include River Plate versus Independiente Santa Fe, a game that was postponed due to an earthquake in Colombia.
