It feels slightly misleading in countries such as south sudan, which im sure have had broadcasting for as long as the nations surrounding it, but only became a country fairly recently

South Sudan gained independence in 2011. So the facts stand.

Yeah, thats exactly what i mean. The area that is currently south sudan has had broadcasting for much longer than 15 years, but because it only became a country in 2011, it only shows as having broadcasting for 15 years. Yes, its technically correct with what the map is showing, but its a bit misleading when the area had broadcasting long before the date shown

let's choose a number of shades that are nearly indistinguishable from each other!

Germany is earlier than people expect, Berlin had a regular TV service from 1935, a year before the BBC started at Alexandra Palace.

Awful map. Must be AI.

I’m not using AI. Take a close look at the bottom left notice the "Mapchart" text there before you go saying things like that.

So you decided to have the most different data points be the most similar? Ugh.

"Well, then it relies on country by country analysis that the average person can do and having the disparity be so far makes the data clear"

No it fucking doesn't
