Talking about other countries news channels, Portugal is a interesting one. With a population of 10M people, they have 4!! news channels. CMTV is a very tabloid news channels (it cames from a newspaper with the same name, more a less as bad as the Sun) with a 5% share and roughly 100 viewers per day. Then you have CNN Portugal, a one year channel but with 3% of share and SIC Notícias with 2,5%. This two are news channels associated with the 2 main private broadcasters without a proper newsroom. Finally you have RTP3, the public news service with 1%. This 3 are pretty similar and are credible channels. Nevertheless , Portuguese news channels are full of sports show, the public broadcaster not that much, but the other 2 have more a less an hour and a half of sports discussion a day and CMTV spent almost all their primetime and part of the afternoon doing it.
