  1. SDK: Société de Diffusion de Kalos. Former national broadcaster of Kalos, it's first television station. Also ran radio stations, which went to KBC in the split. The first provisional government after the fall of Kalos's royal government (65 years ago) split SDK into 3 competing stations - one of which to be government-run, and two to go to the highest private sector bidder. This was to raise funds for rebuilding from the civil war, and to ensure that a larger variety of opinions than royal sycophants would make it onto TV. SDK ran on a strict schedule, with news and arts programs in the morning, drama programs in the afternoon and primetime (depending on the program's rating), and news and sports in the evening. It had no local stations, unlike the KBC of today.

  3. KBC: Kalosian Broadcasting Corporation. Sometimes the SDK moniker is used internally. The national broadcaster of Kalos, and direct descendant of its oldest television station. Has been around (as SDK) since before the overthrowal of the royal family. At the split of SDK by the first provisional government, became Kalos's national broadcaster. Took possession of the rights to half of its original shows, and of its radio stations. Broadcasts most of Kalos's national sports programs. Has designated children's/educational channel (KBC2), 24-hour news/parliament channel (KBC3), and more local channels than any other station (one for each major city).

  5. Teléunion: one of three channels created from the split of SDK. Specializes in bringing foreign shows and collaborations between Kalosian studios and foreign studios to TV. Nightly news coverage is simulcasted from Galarian Broadcasting Corporation. Has designated Japanese and English simulcast stations. Currently has the rights to boradcasting the Pokethlon and international Pokemon Contests in Kalos. Also has a designated geek/anime interests channel (Telétechy, French and English), a designated children's channel (Telépetit, all 3 languages), and manages the simulcast of KanJoh's dual-regional broadcaster in the region (Japanese only). Has one semi-local channel for each third of Kalos (each region of the kalos Dex), which is basically where shows designated to be Screwed By The Network get sent. There were two other local channels and a 24/7 GBC News simulcast that have since ceased operations due to low profits

  7. Lumiose Broadlight: One of the three stations created in the split of SDK. Inherited its print division and the other half of its original programming, though only KBC is allowed to show the old SDK logo instead of editing it out. Its flagship station mainly shows oldies, religious programming, fine arts, "news" (think Kalosian Fox News but hilariously low budget and inept at even lying), and shows Screwed By The Network. Its other channels are what's actually popular. There is a full time news channel that's just as bad as what's on the flagship station (Broadlight News), a fitness/outdoors/obscure sports channel (En Plein Air), a food/cooking channel (Chef Network), a children and teens' channel known for pushing the borders of the censors (Jeunesse), a reality TV channel (Vivre Libre), and a "music" channel that's basically Vivre Libre and Jeunesse's lovechild nowadays (B3AT). Somehow, between its channels, presents both the lowest common denominator of content for old people, and the lowest common denominator of content for young people. Chef Network and En Plein Air are actually good tho; you'd never guess that the same company that owns them runs Broadlight News.

  9. Holo Media: both the most recently created and the most recently disbanded series of networks. The only one that had licensing of the technology to use Holo-enhanced features. Until the Orange Scare, was the most popular set of networks. Had a news/general interest flagship station, a teen music/gaming/drama station (Holo Life), a food channel (Holo Cuisine), a DIY and tech channel (Holo Makers), a children's channel (Holo Junior), and designated Japanese and English channels that broadcast a small mix of things from every main channel. There was also an AI-run, interactive hyperlocal channel available in every language Lysandre Labs software was in that relied on GPS to customize its broadcasts at a given time (Holo Now). Quickly went under along with Lysandre Labs as a whole in the Orange Scare, leaving many popular shows without a network and leading to their cancellations, and even the bankruptcy of some small studios who relied on Holo Media for broadcasting.

  11. The only other major networks are licensed to foreign companies. Only two (GBC World, and a Unovan drama and adult cartoons channel called Serperior) are even competitors in terms of popularity.

  13. Notable moments:
  14. 1999 - some Kalosian equivalent to the Captain Midnight hacking at KBC. The Lumiose hack failed, but the Santalune hack worked and lasted for 20 minutes.
  15. 2003 - a literal fistfight between three arguing guests and the hosts of a Broadlight News panel talk show on live camera.
  16. 2004 - an imported Sinnoh-Kalos collab adult drama show was grabbed from Teléunion by Jeunesse. It did fine as an adult show, but wasn't very popular. However, the censors forgot to take out a sex scene before broacasting it right before primetime, leading the network technicians to literally shut down the transmitters improperly while trying to figure out how to get it off the air. This causes damage to the transmitters, putting Jeunusse and everything else that shared its transmitters out of commission for three days.
  17. Ambiguous Recent Time - the broadcast interruption across all Holo Media devices and channels by Neoflare, making Lysandre Labs out to be more tied to Flare than it actually was, as to distract the public from Neoflare's operations. An internal and government investigation was already ongoing, and 3 days later (unrelated to the broadcast interruption) was when the recall of Holo Casters was expanded to every Lysandre Labs device, and Holo Media went off the air for good.
