- 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 owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
France and Germany will compete in the first semi final of the Women's Basketball World Cup on Saturday at 16:30 at the Uber Arena in Berlin. This match is a rematch of the 2024 Paris Olympics quarter finals, which France won with a score of 84 to 71. Both teams have reached a World Cup semi final for the first time in their histories. France enters the game as the Olympic runners up and favorites, while Germany has the advantage of playing as the host nation. Germany advanced to the semi finals after a 93 to 74 victory over Belgium in the quarter finals. The winner of this match will advance to the final to face the winner of the game between the USA and Spain, while the loser will play for third place on Sunday.
