Retro TV schedules outside North America

M

Mr. Mike

We've seen a sizeable amount of TV schedules from outside the United States and Canada on this board. Most of them are from Australia, but there have been some from Argentina, Brazil, France, Spain, and the U.K, even Jamaica.

If I may make a suggestion, I'm wondering if anyone has thought of posting schedules from other places, like:
*New Zealand
*Ireland
*Montevideo, Uruguay
*Other cities in Argentina, like Cordoba and Rosario to name a few
*Denmark
*South Africa
*Portugal

These are only a handful of places I could come up with. If anyone has other suggestions, I'm sure it would arouse some interest.
 
It would be interesting to see the listings for Brazil's TV and radio line-up for March 2, 1996.

You see that is the day when the very popular Brazilian rock band Mamonas Assassinas was killed in a plane crash. Not only was the entire country in mourning but every channel and station showed nothing but concert footage of Mamonas Assassinas for DAYS..and Brazilian TV showed clips of the plane crash including scenes featuring body parts of the dead band members including the famous/infamous scene of the lead singer's decapitated leg.

Hey its Brazil. Standards are different there.

Classic !! :)

When I saw this on You Tube some years back I really couldn't tell. That is if I was watching a real TV newscast from Brazil...or "I Spit On Your Grave". Ah yeah...it really was that gross. Leg, maggots and all...

Anyway one could NEVER get away with this in the US. But as I had said Brazil is well...different.

...after seeing Death Proof, I'm positive Quentin Tarantino must have seen that last clip somewhere along the line ;D ...
