By the way, don't mix Singapore with Latin American countries like in Botojan (makes Botojan feel like some fictional Hispanic countries in Gapia).

For comparison, this is the current state of Lenaporean media:


 * Mediacorp: bigger than ever before. Despite the return of competition to the market, it's still treated as a semi-monopolistic corporation. Unlike IRL it's not owned by a sovereign fund, it's entirely privately-owned or something.


 * LPBS: government-run radio and television. LPBS1 in English. 2 stuck in Prime 12 days, in Malay and Tamil (sometimes Indonesian, Telugu and Bengali, not official languages). Dedicated Chinese and Japanese channels, a news channel and a parliament channel. In recent years it opened up to advertisements, though.


 * E-Television: a newcomer who started television broadcasts in 2018 on subscription TV (Lentel and StarHub) and on national terrestrial in February 2019. Currently ratings are healthy, however Excite (the English-speaking channel) can be behind at times.


 * Lenapore Press Holdings: no, this isn't the second coming of LPH MediaWorks. Its three main newspapers, Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao and Kaikyo Shimbun (Japanese-speaking newspaper) have all started news channels to compete against, respectively, Sondrian News Network, 8news and Sakura News Network. They started broadcasting in 2018/2019.


 * SoDrama Entertainment: small radio player that was privatized from the LAFRA (IRL SAFRA) a few years ago.


 * Lenapore Media Entertainment: another small radio player, this time a little larger. It is, IRL, the radio network of SPH, however in 2005 LPH spun-off its radio properties to new investors.

This is the DTT network in Lenapore City, the federal capital (country is way larger than Singapore), in February 2019. Since then, Mediacorp launched Health Plus, Entertainment Plus became 5 Plus, Okto became Alt and Okto Kids became Kidzone (Alt and Kidzone even switched channel numbers, with Kidzone on channel 8)
