User blog:DonaldoC1997/Television in my nations

I was challenged to.

TN1

 * Changes from IRL:
 * In the Geian canon it used to be the first TV channel in the entire world, being founded on October 15, 1928, later March 7, 1937 (after Anglosaw was created) and then settled on the same date as RTP1, March 7, 1957.
 * De todos e de cada um.
 * It wasn't fully state-owned at first, although the Government was its majority shareholder.
 * Therefore, the de facto public channel was technically private at first.
 * Doesn't have its primetime schedule filled with soap operas.
 * Up until the internet, Talcians were confused when they saw Eurdevision intros featuring TN in different fonts.
 * Qué es esta wea weón?
 * The fact Televisión Nacional was identified as "TN Talcia" made it less confusing to viewers from this side.

TN2

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Quem vê, quer ver.
 * Now it's "culta e adulta".
 * The slogan above represents Teresa Paixão's control.
 * Deux in Nouvelle Baie suffers the same.
 * Part of its schedule is filled with preschool programming, even if RTN already has TN Crianças.
 * TN2 no longer exists in Talcia, but TN3 does, much to the confusion of TN3 in South Matamah.

SRT

 * Changes from IRL:
 * 30 years older than SIC.
 * Part of the backstory was developed by The Testcardiologist, who through his knowledge of the start of SIC, managed to put Granadia's influence way way back to the 60s.
 * Mais do que uma televisão.

EI

 * Changes from IRL:
 * 20 years older than TVI.
 * It worked under precarious conditions under its first years and it was the last network to switch to color.
 * In the late 1970s/early 1980s, the network finally reached financial stability.
 * According to its official history, EI sent some representatives in Talcia to see how Canal 2 was managed and take notes of how to turn the channel more appealing to audiences.
 * Uma televisão feita por si.
 * It has the most schizophrenic primetime newscast in the country: EI Jornal, Jornal da Quatro, Informação 4, Jornal Nacional, Novo Jornal, Telejornal, Directo XXI, Jornal Nacional again and Jornal das 8 nowadays.
 * The channel achieves the feat of airing the Mass on Sunday mornings and Big Brother on the evening of the same day.

JMTV

 * Changes from IRL:
 * 20 years older than CMTV.

Sexta

 * A channel that doesn't even exist in Portugal, first thought of in 2013/2014 during Geia.

Asulobison

 * A Mirandese-language TV channel (Portugal doesn't even have any).
 * Its schedule is akin to your typical regional channel.
 * Some would say it's a strange mixture of Televisión de Galenia with SRT.
 * The channel is national, even in areas where few people know about the language and jump to the regional channels.

Regional channels

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Regional television is stronger and influenced by Spain (Latinolia).
 * CIML = FORTA.
 * Small unaffiliated stations also exist.
 * If you go to the seventh layer of the deep web (DTT channel 100+) you can find stray MUXes with music videos, fortune tellers, pornography... wait, those channels are gone now?

DTT

 * Differences from IRL:
 * More channels, obviously.
 * 10 times the channels.

Cable and satellite

 * Asulcabo, vamos ficar ligados.
 * Telesat, humaniza-te.
 * Nowo, é justo.
 * Unfair because it's owned by an evil empire. When will they kick Maverick Morti out of the telecoms world like in Nouvelle Baie?

GRT One

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Has services in overseas territories.
 * "Except for viewers in Slenland". Yeah, right, lousy Slensport.
 * It's worse for Irleise because of RTÉ.

GRT Two

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Has services in overseas territories.

ITV

 * Changes from IRL:
 * The franchise system still exists, but at this point, they're almost all O&Os.
 * Overseas territories have their own franchises.

Channel 4

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Started 10~13 years earlier.
 * In overseas territories, the channel is handled by the ITV companies.

Channel 5

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Started 7 years earlier.
 * It was owned by Mediaset during its first few years.
 * In the UK, Mediaset was interested in getting Channel 5's future frequencies in the early 90s, so it fits.
 * The channel struggled to get an identity, solidifying itself nearly 20 years into its existence.

Home countries

 * Newland, lacking its own government (as it represents national law), has a network of poorly-managed local TV stations. Some of these groups also operate in the other countries.
 * Lanzes has S4C.
 * What sets S4C apart from the other channels is the fact that its entirely in Welsh.
 * Except for a few commercial breaks.
 * Its sister channels are Cyw/S4C Dau and Newyddion 24.
 * Slenland has SBS.
 * SBS's commercial competitors are Galedonian Television and the That's Slenland network that took over STV2.
 * More people watch SBS than GTV.
 * SBS has five channels.
 * SBS One has Shorty.
 * Newish and Lensh Shortland Street fans cry in anger
 * Irleise is more autonomous and has its own set of rules. The public sector is dominated by RTÉ and its viewing figures are ten times higher than GRT's. On the other hand you have TV3, humiliating the two ITV companies in the region.
 * In Irleise, RTÉ is on channel 1, GRT is on channel 11.
 * FAIR CITY BEST SHOW

Overseas territories

 * You get a narrower choice of channels.
 * Used to be two channels until GRT Two came.
 * In the territories, Channel 4 is relayed under joint jurisdiction of it and the ITV company.
 * Velina is the exception to the GRT rule. When Gonghei was under Anglosovic rule it was another exception where the ITV company used to compete with RTGH and two commercial companies. Later, after the handover, if you can't beat'em, join'em!

DTT

 * Used to be known as ONdigital until 2002.
 * ITV Digital starting in August 2001, until the collapse.
 * Now known as Freeview.

Cable and satellite

 * Sky, believe in better.
 * ASB, speak clearly.
 * Virgin Media
 * Multicable
 * They bought out all the second-tier cable companies (except a few in Slenland, Irleise and the Crown Dependencies)
 * Wonder when will they change the name.

CT1

 * One thing that sets CT apart from its other counterparts is that it screens commercial advertising.
 * RÚV in Polaness cries with joy.
 * Who needs Borgen when you have Magtir Spils?
 * Genderbent House of Cards (the original GRT drama, not the Netflix adaption).
 * Branding nerds when TV4 and Fem screenbugs are superimposed by the CT1 screenbug when their newscasts are used for footage: am I a joke to you?

TV4

 * ITV and TV 2 Lenmark's lovechild.
 * TV4 started before TV 2 Lenmark.

Fem

 * The largest of the commercial channels to be scrambled.

Palesia
You're in the psycho circus and I say welcome to the show!

Sigma

 * Changes from IRL:
 * The largest of the Big 5.
 * Plim-plim!
 * HÃ HÃ (TV Maresol)
 * Reclames do plim-plim (Faustão)
 * Heinz Bonner made eye candy for millions of people across Palesia and the world.
 * His best-known works are the intros to dozens of telenovelas.
 * The history of the sign-offs:
 * before 1976: according to reports, it was a mix of animation and live-action, accompanied with something like "we're taking a break to make the schedule of the 21st century".
 * 1979~1981?: "Logo, o brilho das luzes..." aka the "ATÉ AMANHÃ" sign-off.
 * 1982+: the slideshow.
 * Depending on the region, the sign-off varies.
 * Faremos agora uma pequena pausa em nossa programação. Apenas o tempo necessário para você despertar para um novo dia, uma nova vida. (1UP) Logo, estaremos juntos novamente.
 * Sigma SG has had the same track for nearly 25 years. The slideshows were announced by [Dirceu Rabelo].
 * Sigma RS was notable for its lack of music.
 * Same goes to Sigma NE and DF.
 * Some stations would put their slides over the network's slide at the start and end, like RDTV and Rede Bahinia.
 * Rede Litoral and TV Mares Claros don't put the network maintenance slide and do it after the station ID and before the schedule starts. "Tenham todos uma boa noite" at the end.
 * TV Cabo Nevado used to do the schedule announcement over the station logo.
 * Now they follow the regular pattern.
 * Rede Rainzônica never played the schedule and used to play the classic "Obrigado, Senhor" prayer and the national anthem. No, I'm not joking. Rede Rainzônica was probably the only Sigma station, if not the only commercial station to play the national anthem at sign-off. They were later dropped.
 * Almost everyone is forced to live in conformity. Some stations like RSP TV and TV Mares Claros have been seen as "rebels".
 * Its arch-nemesis is TelecordTV.
 * Was the subject of Beyond Citizen Kane in 1992, a documentary made for Channel 4 (and not the GRT as many would believe).

TelecordTV

 * Changes from IRL:
 * It keeps national newscasts at lunchtime (Telecord Notícias) and late night (Jornal 24 Horas).
 * SG Telecord and RS Telecord are still being produced.
 * TV Guaratiba kept its branding and is now flatter.
 * Same with TV Itepuran.
 * The oldest of the Big 5.
 * Tried thrice to form a national network.
 * First under Rede Unidas/Emissoras Unidas with TV Rio and TV Alvorada in Calênsia.
 * Upon the dissolution of Unidas, Rede de Emissoras Independentes was created and at one point had Silvio Campos owning half of it. By the time it was in crisis the network was dismantled.
 * The third time was more successful, under the auspices of Eliseu Maceiro and secretly of the UCKG, who made it a nationwide network, and bought a Xerox machine to emulate Sigma in 2006.
 * Even if no longer under common ownership, it still retains close ties with Jovem Pan.
 * Always biased towards the federal government in charge, no matter if it's left-wing, center-left, center-right or right-wing.
 * Someone in the age of Baldonaro suggested to move Jornal da Telecord to 8:30pm so that the viewers would pick between the truth (TelecordTV) and the "liars" (Sigma).
 * Olááá, tudo beim? No Domingo Espetacularrr de hoje...
 * Eliseu Maceiro is "the boss".
 * You will tell that there are some UCKG slots outside of their natural habitat: late nights.
 * Você acredita em Deus?
 * Então você acredita em milagres...
 * www.eucreioemmilagres.com.ps
 * Simples, não assista Rede Telecord
 * Então vamos juntos nessa trilha, pois no ar tudo o que brilha, brilha aqui, na TELECÓÓÓ
 * almost every MBJ video ever: CÓ
 * Um mundo imenso fica maior, tá tudo aqui na Telecord!
 * 95 melhor, 95 Telecord.
 * MBJ: Eu comprei a Telecó! https://twitter.com/OttMBJ/status/1224905146578210816
 * In case of that happening, Telecord's Rio and SG stations will be handed over to the new owners while Eliseu buys 3.1 in these cities to surpass Sigma. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EPT

 * Changes from IRL:
 * The SG O&O still airs local newscasts (EPT São Gonçalo).
 * One of the legal successors to Rede Gupi.
 * The following occupy former Gupi licenses:
 * TV Gupi São Gonçalo → EPT SG
 * TV [Marajoara] → EPT Lisém
 * TV Piratininga → EPT Porto Lépido
 * Other stations that were Gupi affiliates that survived the shutdown either sticked with EPT or moved to other networks.
 * Many people were afraid of the sign-off sequence. Many people didn't know about the meaning of the dots over Palesia. Some thought the satellite was pouring salt to the country or was a giant insecticide.
 * What about Jesus do EPT?
 * Um dia vamos nos encontrar. E EU GOSTARIA DE CHAMÁ-LO DE MEU FILHO
 * EPT = É Puro Trauma
 * MAH OÊ!
 * Suffers from constant schedule changes.
 * Foi sem querer querendo! Oi! Sacaneei!

Vis

 * Changes from IRL:
 * TV MasterChef
 * VOCÊ É A VERGONHA DA PROFISSION!

Telerede

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Relies a bit less on selling part of its schedule to home shopping and churches.
 * The smallest of the Big 5.
 * Although it acquired Rede Megahertz's concessions, the network is not legally its successor.
 * Megahertz was bankrupt on May 18, 1999. TV Órbita was also known as Telerede on air. That way TV Órbita is just another phase of Telerede.
 * One of the most-famous non-religious paid programs was Fadinha da Palésia. It ran for two episodes and became a web hit due to its low production values.
 * One of the most-famous non-religious paid programs was Fadinha da Palésia. It ran for two episodes and became a web hit due to its low production values.

TV Educativa

 * The largest television network that isn't part of the Big 5.
 * Originally founded by Condomínios Associados in 1960, it's currently owned by the State of São Gonçalo since 1969.
 * Roda em Carne Viva was originated from here.
 * Several Rá-Tim-Bum shows over the years.
 * It's even the name of its children's channel.

Other networks

 * Aside from the channels above, Palesian TV has over 350 channels nobody watches.
 * Correio, a primeira TV desindexada da Palésia.
 * Palmirinha and the YTPs that came with her.
 * Nasce uma estrela, brilha uma estrela! REDEVIDA
 * This channel used to broadcast Medalhão Dersa.
 * It moved to TV Aparecida.
 * Danny Pink used to be the channel's "celebrity".
 * They almost accepted Jovem Pan TV's attempt at using their resources when Rede Vida launched in 1995.
 * An educational network (of a predominantly secular nature) started in the wake of the pandemic.
 * TV Aparecida
 * Another Catholic channel. Broadcasts started in 2005.
 * A Catholic channel that airs Medalhão Dersa
 * Vergalhão Dersa
 * CPT, or CPTeta according to TV Maresol
 * Created from the ashes of Marapá's second television station, TV Marapá, initially a Gupi affiliate.
 * Used to be known as Rede OG.
 * Maceirão's smaller network, Rede Familiar, is watched by almost nobody and is not even a must-carry channel.
 * Counting TV Universal, Eliseu Maceiro controls four terrestrial television networks: TelecordTV, Telecord News, Rede Familiar and TV Universal.
 * Rede 21
 * Rede Evê Sobral da Palésia
 * The Chocolates Pan commercial airs there literally every day.

Defunct networks ;_;

 * Rede Gupi, a 1ª imagem da TV. (1950~1980)
 * Rede Excelsa (1960~1970)
 * Emissoras Unidas/Rede de Emissoras Independentes (1963~1989)
 * See TelecordTV for details.
 * Rede Megahertz, você em primeiro lugar. (1983~1999)
 * Pantanal.
 * Tokusatsus.
 * And the biggest crisis ever
 * May 10, 1999: last broadcast.
 * May 18, 1999: bankruptcy, last sacrifice.
 * TV Jovem Pan (1991~1995)
 * Its successor was CPI: o Canal Palesiano da Informação.
 * CPI also means Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito.
 * TV JP (2007)
 * A novidade está no ar.
 * PLS (2012~2014)

Regional networks

 * TV A Rúbrica, de mãos dadas com o povo.
 * Rede União, from Alscre, also available in Calênsia and Fortitude.
 * A small network from Alscre: does that exist?
 * You mean the state?

DTT

 * MTV Palésia nowadays is closer to its Cisplatine counterpart.
 * SigmaNews, nunca desliga.
 * Mesmo.
 * Telecord News, jornalismo 24 horas de plantão.

EPT

 * Like HBC-TV in Hisqaida and Federal TV in Jysania, it competes directly with the commercial networks and it's allowed to air commercial advertising.
 * Therefore its perfect match in South Atlansia would be RTS Nacional from Surtaline.
 * Alongside ECN and SBC, it was awarded one of the first three licenses by the Eusloidian Government for the foundation of a national television network.

EPT2

 * Where the quality always shows.
 * Okto|This is Premiere 12.

ECN

 * Still the one.

SBC

 * The oldest television network in Eusloida.

EDT11

 * The oldest television station in Eusloida.
 * On air since when the country was still part of Hisqaida, and was set up under the former NBS.

EBS

 * Vox Mundi.
 * Isn't that the name of a Gonçaline dubbing studio?
 * Basically Eusloida's EVT.
 * Most of its schedule relies on imports.
 * The main importers are Yarean networks, EVT from Neurcasia and Balaji Telefilms.
 * Around the time of the "actually Anglosovic" film Slumdog Billionaire (2009), the channel started running Kasamh Se. Who thought that the age of Hindi serials on the network ended with the democratization of Hisqish South Asikaish subscription cable networks?
 * They also aired RMN's Myx TV's animated series The Nutshack in 2009, about six or seven years before an Atlansian cartoon reviewer (RebelTaxi) mentioned it in a video of the worst cartoon theme songs ever made and him, alongside Mr. Enter, made the show a meme.
 * RMN Corporation later deleted millions of Nutshack videos because of RMN Play contracts for within Macamot itself.
 * Daytimes on the network, as well as the entirety of the news channel, are filled with foreign newscasts.
 * A practice that started with Vremya, HBC National News, HHK News Today and the PBS NewsHour when the network started in 1989.
 * Now it broadcasts newscasts from about 53 countries (including its own Eusloidian-made 7:30 newscast simulcast across two channels), including Federal News from Jysania.

RRE Un

 * Basicallly a Trapanandic Une with the one thing Nouvelle Baie, a country equiparable in population (kinda) with Eusloida lacks: local programming.

RTS Nacional

 * Name created by The Testcardiologist to escape from the 1/2 cliché, already used in a couple of South Atlansian countries.
 * Used to be Canal 1
 * RTS follows a more Western Eurdecian approach, though.
 * Maconha influence?
 * Maconha: o crescimento do seu cultivo e do seu uso para fins recreativos nos últimos anos e os seus efeitos para a saúde. Seria esta a cocaína da próxima década? RTS Repórter, nesta quarta, depois do Telejornal. Canal 1, sintonize na nossa energia.
 * Has its own counterpart to Roda Viva.
 * Remember the day they provoked the entire Palesian nation when they announced the showing of Blame it on Lisa?
 * RTS execs: It was already "in the package". The episode was priorly dubbed and shown regionwide on the Fox channel until they took it away because of the damage cause by the "accurate" portrayal of Rio by the animators. That would be the same as a Hisqish adult animated series portraying our country as a cannabis paradise.
 * On the other hand, I think the Hisqish already did that...

RTS Educativa

 * Same as above.
 * TV Educativa's kids' block but with Disney Junior shows instead.

Continental

 * Managed by NicoGR, named after and using the same branding as its YT channel counterpart.

Cable and satellite

 * Dependent from Palesia, but with separate feeds for sports channels to give more focus to domestic sports.

TNR1

 * Olha a TV imparcial do governo aí, gente!
 * Palesia: How is this possible?
 * Surtaline: *applauds*
 * Among its programs are a sports show that got cancelled in 1994 and returned in 2002, but after a 2006 revision started becoming an entertainment show (Showmatch?), hosted by some "Baitola"
 * A local equivalent of Roda Viva.
 * A debate program where there is no bias.
 * SpongeBob SquarePants (oh wait, that's on TNR Kids)
 * And unbiased news.

TNR2

 * TV Educativa.
 * With some public interest programs thrown in, like TVS2 in its neighbor Surodecia.
 * With no money left to make local kids shows, they rely on reruns of Palesian cartoons from Educativa, and the live-action series Castelo Rá-Tim-Bum, Escola Rá-Tim-Bum, Puteiro Rá-Tim-Bum (wait that's on MetróNR) and Cocoricó (not to be confused with CocoriCÓ)

Canal 3

 * Founded by colonels in the dictatorial era.
 * Rumedia, its owners, are owned in part by Sigma.
 * Sigma's affair with Canal 3 started with Gabriela and O Bem-Amado, even though O Bem-Amado was supposed to be the first to air, it was delayed.
 * Despite sharing a few Sigmal things, aeshetically speaking, the channel is more of its own thing.
 * The main slogan is "A perfeição da imagem" and it has been in use for decades now, ,even with other slogans also seen on the main IDs.
 * A emoção de viver a vida.
 * The sign-offs, until 1991 at least, barely followed the Sigma pattern.
 * In 1980, they used the script from Sigma's sign-off accompanied by shots of Taquaritinga do Sul at night and Recuerdos de la Alhambra playing. The strident chords of the national anthem that followed made the sequence comparable to EPT's sign-off from years later.
 * Later, by 1984/1985, while keeping the same announcement, they change the background music to Les fleurs sauvages as arranged by Richard Clayderman.
 * In the 2000s there used to be groups called "Eu tinha medo do encerramento do Canal 3".
 * And "Eu tinha medo do clipe do hino nacional que dava em todos os canais neorrumenses".
 * They later changed the announcement and by 1990 were following Sigma's procedures of having a slideshow.
 * They didn't have 24/7 programming until recently, so sign-offs were still a daily thing.
 * As late as the late 80s, they still used Microgramma.
 * Instead of Tela Quente, they have... Sessão Nobre.
 * For many years, Canal 3 and Sigma bought the exact same imports.
 * In the 90s, Heinz Bonner also made intros for Canal 3 while keeping the 3 numeral intact.
 * Some affiliates were founded by coronels and were later sold off in the democratization process. Affiliates in small towns were absorbed by larger regional affiliates.
 * Was this a prediction of Rede Mirador's centralization decisions in recent years?
 * Of course, Canal 3 played a key role in the redemocratization of the country, and in 1990 produced the famous Golpe de 85 documentary.
 * Around the time of the coup (even though it took months before democracy arrived), they were supportive of democracy, but this annoyed the government and the colonels.
 * Because of Rumedia's stake in Taquaritinga SC, many people accuse Rumedia of bias towards the team.
 * Sigmaplay NR is the network's streaming service, granted that the remaining 85% of Rumedia that aren't owned by Sigma can put its channels and content to the platform.
 * What if they think Sigma controls us too much?
 * Keep the interface, but change some elements to look be closer to our channel's branding and change its name into 3Play.
 * Continental: *laughs*

Telequatro

 * Founded in the city of Salvador do Norte on channel 4, hence the name. It's channel 7 in Taquaritinga do Sul.
 * Acts like a New Rhumbese "little brother" of EPT.
 * The current owner is like a local Silvio Campos.
 * He has his own Baú da Felicidade, Arca da Alegria.
 * COMPRA JÁ O CARNÊ DA ARCA DA ALEGRIA!
 * Most of Programa Silvio Campos airs on the network.
 * Telequatro used to be more civilized than EPT because it didn't suffer from the Silvio Schedule Syndrome.
 * On the other hand, it loves to humiliate its competitors.

TV5

 * Doesn't have an accurate depiction of what Palesian network it represents, being a strange concoction of TelecordTV, Telerede and some Vis.
 * Airs both Show da Fé and UCKG programming, like what Vis used to do.
 * Afternoon talk shows follow Telerede's pattern of including stories of strange people who prostituted to eat a cheeseburger. The INROPE figures are always low.
 * Jornal da TV5 runs at 7:30pm so that Show da Fé can run.
 * After Show da Fé, normally, they would air Telecord's biblical soap operas. Isn't it strange to see a program likely funded by the UCKG after a program created by the IIGD?

Cable and satellite

 * Same as Surtaline.
 * Canais Sigma's Rhumbese office is located within Rumedia's complex.
 * On Sky NR, Sigma Internacional is on channel 2, between Passo a Passo and Canal 3.
 * All the national channels are mapped to Taquaritinga do Sul.

Three

 * Come home to the best... oops... the feeling, only on 3! TV3!

Māori Television

 * Mā rātou, mā mātou, mā koutou, mā tātou.
 * Kia hi warāāāāāāāāāāā! Hu! Hu-ha~! Mā tātou~! Hui-ha!
 * Half the programing is te reo Māori. Primetime is in English.
 * The news are in Māori because legislation.
 * Hu! Hāāāāā! Tahi ma tahi ma kāea nā Te Kāea! Hu! Hāāāāāāāāāā!
 * Actually it's Te Ao now.

Choice TV

 * All it shows is cheap imports. Even Māori Television has more viewers.

Cable and satellite

 * Largely dependent of Neurcasia.
 * Sky still owns a few channels of its own, though.
 * The main Sky channel is Sky 5, after its LCN.
 * For Sky subscribers its TVNE1/TVNE2/Three/Prime/Sky 5.

LBC1

 * Used to be known as TV1 in the age of Apartheid, and after that, until the 1996 reorganization of the LBC.
 * This one's for you! It's one for you!

LBC2

 * Used to be TV2 and TV3 in separate parts of the country, then in 1985 TV4 signed on after 9pm.
 * A world of entertainment for you on 4!
 * All Afrikaans programming moved here after the 1996 revamp.

TPL2

 * A bit like Canal 7 in Great Gritain, between 2007 and 2017, the channel, while being operated by TPL, was actually managed by Semba. That also led to the launch of TPL Internacional.
 * Shows made by Semba became memes. Like Sempre a Subir.
 * PIPINO!
 * SEXO OCASIONAAAAAAL

TV Ilzo

 * Sometimes nicknamed (as of late) TPL3 by netizens.

Cable and satellite

 * Largely dependent of South Matamah when it comes to major international channels (e.g: Fox, AXN, MTV, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Sport TV, etc.).

MZH One

 * HHK General TV but with commercials.
 * And Hokunet Takeo at 4am :cry:
 * Hokunetto, Hokunetto, yume no Hokunetto Takeo!
 * Another channel for Palesian Twitter user Orientaruterebi who was into Hokunet some time back :P
 * Main news at 7? 9? Nah, 8.
 * The local news are known as (province name) News 730.
 * An HHK asadora runs from 11:40 to 12:00. There's a commercial break in the middle.
 * The HHK cries fowl of this.
 * KHK One is also a commercial channel, what gives?

MZH Two

 * Murakami's HHK Educational TV.
 * It's the only main channel that as of 2020 still closes down nightly.
 * On this channel, you'll find local and Hokuseiese programming of high educational production value.
 * Because the channel is devoid of commercials, the flow of its programming follows HHK's channels.

SDH

 * If Murakami was still a prefecture of Hokusei, then it would be a dual SNN/HNN affiliate.
 * Isn't SNN against dual affiliations?
 * Content ratio (Murakami/Hokusei/elsewhere): 5:3:2.
 * They recently started airing more Hisqish series.
 * Kinda makes sense because Hisqaida and Murakami both have tense relations with South Yarea, and for different reasons depending on who you ask.
 * GUNDAM
 * "BANDAM, ACTIVATE!" ~ B-Sha
 * Anpanman

AHK

 * Technically an ANN/ITN affiliate.
 * ITN doesn't have secondary affiliations, tho
 * Murakami's Tokusatsu network.
 * The local news are known as News Eye (province name). News Eye Sujikama

Mega Terebi

 * Fuchi TV from the north (kinda).
 * Except that unlike Fuchi TV, there is no flood of Yarean content. Murakami hates Yarea.
 * SUGAR KYOWA GENERATION BEST ANIME

DTT

 * Despite having the same format as Hokusei and Kyowa, the number of channels available in the Murakamese platform is comparable to Deiwan.
 * The MZH has two multiplexes: MZH One + Sports + News and MZH Two + Kids + Plus.

Cable and satellite

 * Your J:COMs are Cablevision, MRT and Azure. Vodafone has IPTV services. One is one of the two satellite operators. Your SKY PerfecTV! is ASAT.
 * Except that ASAT is actually owned by WOWOW Murakami.
 * I wonder what would happen if PerfecTV was bought out by WOWOW, would Hokusei have ASAT too?

KBC

 * TBG's big brother (kinda)

YBN

 * TK62704's favorite foreign channel (probably)
 * More Deiwanese contents like Mr. Player (from 2016-2017 onwards)

Hoi Yeung TV

 * ViuTV's cousin, due to YBN-like trash TV but more trash.
