- 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.

Actor Michael J. Fox was honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award during the 78th Emmy Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The 65 year old actor received the award for his transformative contributions to Parkinson's disease research and patient advocacy. During the ceremony, Fox received a standing ovation from the audience. He spoke about his diagnosis in 1991 and his initial decision to keep the illness a secret due to fears regarding his career and public perception. Fox highlighted the work of his foundation, which was established in 2000, and expressed optimism that researchers are moving closer to eradicating the disease.
Reports on the event varied in detail regarding Fox's physical condition and the night's other winners. One center source noted that Fox appeared in a wheelchair, marking his first appearance at the ceremony in over a decade. While he was nominated for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Shrinking, the award went posthumously to Rob Reiner for his work in The Bear. Other highlights of the evening included Jean Smart winning for her role in Hacks, making her the first person to win for every season of a series. Additionally, the series The Pitt won for Best Drama Series.
