Overcast Broadcasting

Overcast Broadcasting, doing business as Overcast, Inc., is an international public broadcaster. It originally started as a cable-installing company under the name of DNA Cable Service in 2003, but then was changed to 'Overcast' in 2009, following the discontinuation of their standalone TV channel Overcast.
== Member stations ==
It runs 5 member stations that serve the Americas, and those are:
# KSRL-TV, an English-language TV station that serves the Western and Midwestern American regions of the US, and airs news (at 4:00 p.m.), soap operas (8:00 p.m.) and sitcom programs (10:00 p.m.)
# KCFD-TV, a Kalennian-language TV station that serves the Kalennian-speaking Southern and Northern regions, and airs the same programming, but exclusively in Kalennian. The dubbing of its shows is provided by Kentucky-based dubbing studio BlueGrass. It has a children's programming block that also functions as a separate TV channel called Yabkân TV, unlike KSRL-TV.
# FKEV-TV, an English-language TV station that serves the Northern Territories, Western Canada and the Prairie Provinces in Canada. It airs the same programming.
# FNTS-TV, a French-language TV station that serves the French-speaking part of Central Canada. It airs the same programming in French.
# UNLM-TV, a Spanish-language TV station that serves Mexico. It airs the same programming, but in Spanish.
== Controversy ==
Overcast has been under controversy for their July 2019 hijacking of their member station KCFD-TV mentioned above. When The Big Bang Theory was airing at 10:23 pm in the evening, it was suddenly interrupted by text on a black background (with the Overcast logo on the right, being stabbed multiple times with a knife) which dehumanized and made fun of Kalennian people who were watching KCFD-TV (examples included "You fake-ass natives of the US must be fun to mess around with", "The UKDP employees have no life, and so do the rest of you all", and "oH i'M sOrRy I cAn'T uNdErStAnD yOuR dUmB lAnGuAgE!!"), which made the viewers outraged and confused. Because of this, the KCFD-TV viewers unjustly blamed Overcast for the hijacking. It is unknown who was behind the hacking of KCFD-TV. According to TVNews (an English-language news aggregator/news magazine that specializes in bringing in updates to Overcast stations and other TV channels not related to Overcast), their article came out with Overcast's apology (from their website) 4 days later. The apology is as follows:"The staff at Overcast will not tolerate the dehumanization of Kalennian people, especially those who are learning the auxiliary language, and those who are hard of hearing or blind. The technical team will promise to implement robust cybersecurity, so we can safeguard ourselves and the rest of our TV stations against such issues. We apologize if any Kalennian-speaking person who is watching KCFD-TV currently is offended and/or petrified of the current event that occurred. Again, we are extremely sorry".
