Kinda want to set up some extra stuff about ENT/EPT's story and I already established some stuff:
 * Much like its competitors, ENT was strongly affected by the early 1980s energetic crisis, which forced ENT to have a reduced schedule and ENT2 to be off-airs at an irregular basis. Radio stations were also strongly affected.
 * The 1990s restructuring was a result of its financial losses during a good part of the decade, sparking the rumors of a possible privatization of the service. Eventually, they opted my a massive restructuring plan, leading to several budget cuts and redundancies. In 1998, when it was renamed EPRT, the company was already making profits again.
 * Expansion of broadcast hours was a gradual process. In the early 1990s, it expanded its broadcast hours to 3am, with such slot being usually filled with movies, then in 1996 to 4am due to infomercials and around the early 2000s, it already broadcast 24/7 with the 3am-6pm slot being filled with two hours of infomercials. Then at 6pm, local morning news would start as usual.
