TV Brasil is part of Brazil's public-media organization EBC, and its cultural and public-service programming provides a distinct editorial subject from commercial entertainment networks. EBC also describes TV Brasil Internacional as an international offering, so domestic and international contexts should remain separate in a directory. Portuguese-language programmes from Brazil should keep their own identities rather than being grouped indiscriminately with services from Portugal. A useful page can explain the programme's cultural setting, original title and domestic or international purpose. It should avoid turning an international service announcement into a claim that all domestic programmes, episodes or sports are available in every territory.
Use Brazilian Portuguese context and original programme titles. Distinguish a Brazilian service’s identity from Portuguese-language services based in other countries.
