- 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.

Comedian and singer Diogo Defante performed a high energy set at the Supernova stage during Rock in Rio on Friday. The 35 year old artist, who played in a band before becoming an internet personality, combined music with slapstick comedy and theatrical elements. His performance featured a humanoid robot named Gepeto and a man in a costume who repeatedly jumped into the crowd. Defante's repertoire included original songs with lyrics about pubic hair, a werewolf that licks police officers, and marijuana. The audience, consisting largely of young men, interacted with the performer by shouting insults and compliments. During the show, Defante encouraged the crowd to make rock music to help the scene return. One report noted that his performance drew a significant portion of the festival crowd away from the Sunset stage, where the band Hot Milk was playing at the same time.
