- 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.
Taiwan's men's basketball team has advanced to the quarter-finals of the Asian Games in Japan after defeating Qatar 91 to 69. The victory was driven by precision long-range shooting, with the team making 17 three-pointers, including seven in the opening quarter. Shooting guard Lin Ting-chien scored a game-high 21 points, while naturalized center Brandon Gilbeck contributed 12 points and nine rebounds.
Taiwan finished second in Group B with a 2 to 1 record. The team previously defeated Jordan 83 to 80 but suffered a 72 to 69 loss to Iran.
