- 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.

Cienciano defeated Botafogo 6-1 in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16 on Thursday, August 13, at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium in Cusco, Peru. Matías Succar led the offensive with a hat trick, while Neri Bandiera and Marcos Martinich also scored for the Peruvian side. Botafogo managed a single goal in the second half through Matheus Martins. The match took place at an altitude of 3,400 meters, a factor highlighted as a significant challenge for the Brazilian club. The result marks the largest rout suffered by a Brazilian club in Conmebol tournaments. Botafogo must now win by five goals in the return match on August 20 at the Nilton Santos stadium in Rio de Janeiro to force a penalty shootout. Following the match, Cienciano coach Horacio Melgarejo joked in a press conference, asking reporters not to ask why his team did not score more goals. Center-right sources framed the victory as a historic achievement that echoes the club's golden era in 2003 and 2004, while center-leaning coverage focused on Botafogo being outclassed by the altitude.
