  • 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.

Every source for this story reports from Brazil.

Galvão Bueno is leaving his partnership with N Sports, a sports television company that collaborated with SBT for the World Cup broadcast. The departure follows a disagreement over a lawsuit filed by N Sports against the Abravanel family's network. N Sports is seeking the blocking of 40 million reais from SBT's accounts, alleging that the broadcaster failed to pass on revenues from World Cup sponsorship sales. Galvão Bueno reportedly sent a letter to the Abravanel family in early September regarding the matter. The legal case has been proceeding in a São Paulo court since Friday, August 11. SBT has not issued a statement on the matter.
