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.

Rock in Rio 2026 continues its 11th edition this Saturday, September 12, featuring headliners Maroon 5 and Demi Lovato on the Palco Mundo. Maroon 5 is scheduled to perform at 00:05, while Demi Lovato will take the stage at 21:20. Both artists have performed other dates in Brazil recently as part of their respective international tours. The festival will officially conclude on Sunday, September 13, with performances by Twenty One Pilots, Ivete Sangalo, Zara Larson, and Halsey.
The Saturday lineup includes a diverse array of artists across multiple stages. Palco Mundo will also feature J Balvin and Pedro Sampaio. The Palco Sunset will host João Gomes, Gilsons, Daniela Mercury, and Olodum. Other stages include the New Dance Order featuring Alok, the Espaço Favela with Timbalada and Priscila Senna, the Palco Supernova with Delacruz and Milo J, and the Palco Global Village with Mestrinho.
One center left source emphasizes the cultural significance of Priscila Senna's performance at the Palco Favela, noting that she is bringing the romantic brega sofrência style to the festival for the first time. Her show will feature a unique blend of brega and classical music, accompanied by eight classically trained musicians including a harpist and a cellist. Center sources focus more on the logistical details of the event, such as the full schedule and probable setlists for the international pop stars based on recent tour data.
