 * Only four of the five networks keep their original names: Seven, Nine, Ten and SBS. The public broadcaster is the Northulian National Broadcaster.


 * Seven has contracts with NBCUniversal and Warner Bros., Nine has a contract with Disney.


 * Nine's newscast is Nine National News and uses the old ABC World News Tonight theme for its national edition. Local editions in metro capitals are branded as Eyewitness News.


 * Television launched there in 1954 with the first Nine Network station in a yet-unnamed equivalent of Sydney. Need to brainstorm the city names.


 * The Nine Network has its own long-running soap-opera to compete against Home and Away on Seven and Neighbours on Ten/Eleven.


 * NNB's main channel reverted to NNB after seven years of being known as NNB 1, NNB 2 became NNB You after NNB 3 became NNB Me.


 * Ten's newscast is known as Ten Evening News.


 * There still are community service channels and the governnment hasn't done anything.


 * BONUS: Unlike their real life counterparts and just like in Gapia, Keithland, Northulia and the New Michillies are individual republics. This is because there are multiple English-speaking nations from "the old world" that colonized other countries. Northulia was colonized by the equivalent of the UK (I still need a name that starts with an N) and the New Michillies by... the Michillies, of course!
