I was challenged to.

TN1

 * Changes from IRL:

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.

EI

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

Sexta

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

Regional channels

 * Changes from IRL:
 * Regional television is stronger and influenced by Spain (Latinolia).

ITV

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

Sigma

 * Changes from IRL:
 * The largest of the Big 5.

TelecordTV

 * Changes from IRL:
 * TV Guaratiba kept its branding and is now flatter.
 * Same with TV Itepuran.
 * It keeps national newscasts at lunchtime and late night.
 * Praça Telecord still airs in SG and RS.
 * The oldest of the Big 5.
 * Tried thrice to form a national network.
 * 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.
 * Always biased towards the federal government in charge, no matter if it's left-wing, center-left, center-right or right-wing.

EPT

 * Changes from IRL:
 * 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.

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.

 * Used to be known as Rede OF.

DTT

 * MTV Palésia nowadays is closer to its Cisplatine counterpart.

RTS Nacional

 * Name created by The Testcardiologist to escape from the 1/2 cliché, already used in a couple of South Atlansian countries.
 * RTS follows a more Western Eurdecian approach, though.
 * Remember the day they provoked the entire Palesian nation when they announced the showing of Blame it on Lisa?

RTS Educativa

 * Same as above.

Continental

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

Cable and satellite

Canal 3

 * Founded by colonels in the dictatorial era.
 * Rumedia, its owners, are owned in part by Sigma.

 * For Sky subscribers its TVNE1/TVNE2/Three/Prime/Sky 5.

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.

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 production value.
 * Because the channel is devoid of commercials, the flow of its programming follows HHK's channels.

KBC

 * TBG's big brother (kinda)
