Television

Television has a far smaller role in Caniic society than other races, with only about thirty-three percent of Caniic households having just one television. A number of Caniic nations, including Yu'toriic, New Viranii, Amadoriic, and Doractic, do have government-owned public broadcasting authorities which operate and fund all public television stations in their respective nations. The income received from the government is sufficient to cover expenses and stations also rely on viewer contributions.
The two major broadcasters in Caniic society are the International Broadcasting Company (IBC), and the Hierarchy Broadcasting Company (HBC). Several Tigriic and Sauruanian broadcast networks exist, which are the most common form of non-Caniic television broadcasts. These networks are not as widely distributed over-the-air as their Caniic counterparts; several of these over-the-air networks are alternatively fed directly to satellite and CCTV providers in markets without the availability for a locally based owned-and-operated or affiliate station.

Radio

Radio stations in caniic society are the most widely used form of broadcasting system. With nearly eighty-three percent of caniic households owning at least one radio. Whether it is for news updates, entertainment, or simply background music, radios provide a convenient and accessible source of information and entertainment for many caniic.

Unlike other forms of media, such as television, radios require minimal setup, making them an affordable option for many households. Additionally, radios can be used in areas with limited access to electricity, making them a reliable source of information in remote or rural areas.
Another factor contributing to the popularity of radio in caniic society is their ability to reach a wide audience. Radio signals can cover vast distances, allowing stations to broadcast their content to a diverse range of listeners. This aspect of radio broadcasting enables stations to cater to different demographics and interests, offering a variety of programming choices. Furthermore, unlike other media forms that require visual engagement, radios allow individuals to multitask and listen while performing other tasks, making them a convenient choice for busy lives. Radio also play a crucial role in keeping civilians informed and connected. Local, national, international, and colonial news bulletins, weather updates, and traffic reports are regularly broadcasted, ensuring that individuals stay up to date with current events.
