  • 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.

Rockstar Games has announced that an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI will debut on Netflix on August 27 at 9:00 PM CEST. The trailer will also be released on the official Rockstar Games YouTube channel and the game's official website. This marks a rare instance of a video game trailer premiering on a major streaming service. The game is scheduled for release on November 19, following several delays. Pre orders for the title began in late June. One source reports that the game may become the most expensive entertainment product in history with an estimated budget exceeding one billion dollars. The setting for the game is expected to be a fictional version of Miami. In Hungary, the base version of the game is available for pre order at 31,990 forints, while the Ultimate edition costs 39,990 forints. Rockstar Games has confirmed that no physical disc versions will be sold, providing only download codes with boxed copies. This decision has caused some friction among console players who value the ability to trade or sell used games.
