Television in Keithland

Television in Keithland officially began with the sign-on of the nation's first television stations in Montblanc and Toronto in 1949. As with most media in Hamilton, the television industry, and the television programming available in the country, are strongly influenced by media in the United States, perhaps to an extent not seen in any other major industrialized nation. As a result, the government institutes quotas for "Keithlandian content". Nonetheless, new content is often aimed at a broader North Sierran audience, although the similarities may be less pronounced in the predominantly French-language province of Quebec and Portuguese-speaking Newfoundland.
==History==
In 1949, the Keithlandian Broadcasting Corporation was conceded two television stations, one in Montblanc and one in Hamilton. They eventually launched in September 1951.
Television wasn't spread to other cities until 1953, with the French and English services in both cities being split from this part. Commercial television stations and commercial affiliated of KBC emerged in the decade, followed by the emergence of KTN in the late 50s. Portuguese-language television wasn't introduced until 1955 in Nova Esperança, as a trilingual television station.
==Languages==
While the majority of services operate in English, there are a growing number of similar services in the French and Portuguese languages, serving primarily Quebec and Newfoundland, respectively. Ici Radio-Keithlande Télé, the French-language equivalent of KBC Television, and its Portuguese equivalent Televisão Nacional Keithlandiana, broadcasts terrestrially across Keithland, while TVA, one of Quebec's two commercial French-language networks, is available across Keithland on cable and terrestrially in some cities.
RDI, the French equivalent of KBC Newsworld, also has cross-Keithlandcable carriage rights, as does TV5 Québec Keithland. Most other French-language networks are available exclusively in Quebec, although some have optional cable carriage status in the rest of Keithland. V, for instance, is carried nationwide on satellite.
The Omanio government's French public television network TFO is the only French-language broadcaster in Keithland whose operations are located entirely outside of Quebec.
Newfoundland's government broadcaster Televisão Educativa broadcasts to the eastern states by cable yet its terrestrial coverage is limited to Newfoundland itself.
Other ethnic and multicultural services, serving one or more cultural groups outside of these two official languages, are also growing in strength. Six terrestrial TV stations, CFMT and CJMT in Hamilton, CFHG in Montblanc, CJEO in Ellington, CJCO in Calgary and CHNM in Vancouver, air multicultural programming in a variety of languages, while Telelatino airs programming in Italian and Spanish on basic cable. Numerous third-language channels have been licensed as Category 2 services on digital cable.
The Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) airs programming targeted to the Indigenous peoples of Keithland; 28 per cent of the network's content is broadcast in native languages.
