DTT there is a disaster, not even all relays in the mainland got ready!

Yeah! There are many relayers that aren’t ready for DTV. In Fernando de Noronha (Pernambuco) the entire island isn’t geographically far from the Brazilian mainland. Only Globo Nordeste has started DTV relays there. (thanks to a digital terrestrial dish)

And in Portugal it was also a disaster, there were many shadow areas and a lack of care by the government. Olans for a civilized network never came to fruition.

That's interesting to hear. BTW, here's another screenshot of 9GO! I think this was taken on New Year's Day 2011, judging by the screen bug.

I reckon only TVN, Chilevisión and Mega are relayed as well as the local channel. TV started there in 1996 - or at least TVN's relays.

Actually, you made a mistake. La Red is available on Easter Island on channel 9. Not Mega.

My bad. IIRC there were two relayers of mainland TV there plus the local channel in 2011, according to sources I found then.

MEO added TRT World on Friday, it's the first Turkish channel to come to Portugal, yet it's in English. I have the feeling that the only Middle Eastern channels we have here are all English-speaking news channels - we also have the English feed of Al-Jazeera and in the past we had Press TV. Maybe the reason we don't get channels in Turkish or Arabic might be because many people believe that these languages are hard to understand.

@animegamer has a few. These mostly come from an Asiasat-5 transponder from Globecast carrying Arabic channels. From my knowledge they recently removed Oman TV (from Bengal Digital), probably due to room for new channels.

In Argentina there are 6 major channels. (America TV, NET TV, TPA, eltrece, Telefe, el nueve) The commercial channels transmit via affiliates or representatives. TPA has retransmitters all across Argentina.

Here's something I saved from TVARK from the brief period it was online days ago under the new site. They say it will return soon but we don't know when.

"Do you live in any of these countries? We'd love to feature TV recordings from your country! Australia, Barbados, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Botswana, Cambodia, Cayman Islands, China, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Fiji, Gibraltar, Greenland, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Jamaica, India, Israel, Luxembourg, South Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Saint Maarten, Seychelles, South Africa, Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe."

I just got thrown in at "Saint (Sint) Maarten"

They don't have local TV, not even on the French and Dutch sides

besides the French side is served by Guadeloupe la 1ère

Are the rest of the regional la 1ère channels available on cable and satellite in France?

Saint Martin gets IO TV (local French channel), TV5 Monde, France 24, BVN and maybe more.

Only in overseas territories. Each territory has a public television channel. Some territories also have their own commercial channels.

Minimax (2010) (Romania)

9GO! (2011) (Australia)

GOOD TV (2010/2011) (Taiwan)

Good TV is actually some Taiwanese Christian channel, likely linked to TBN.

As per Lunar New Year tradition, all VTV channels have merged into one tonight

Every night before the Lunar New Year, VTV would air "Gặp Nhau Cuối Năm" (Meeting at the End of the Year), a 2h comedy stage special that features a satirical view on last year's popular events. From 2003-2019, the show's plot revolves about "Táo Quân" (Kitchen Gods) reporting events to the Emperor (Thượng Hoàng) at Heaven Kingdom (Thiên Đình).
This year's plot, however, is based on the life of the fictional characters from various Vietnamese short stories and novels in Vũ Đại Village, the village from the short story "Chí Phèo" by Nam Cao, if they live in 2019.

Two years ago I was surprised by this, thought they were changing VTV for good.
