Penta (Pacifican TV channel)

Penta is a Pacifican terrestrial television channel. Unlike most television stations in Pacifica, it divides itself into five regional stations, with each major city receiving a repeater. This includes the Eastern Region, Central Region, Western Region, North East Region (French) and South East (Aurentian). This network is one of the first ones in Pacifica to air in multiple languages prior to the acquirement of second and third audio programming made available in the 1980s.

History
The channel launched their first station (PNCR) sometime in 1951. It mostly acted as a channel reliant on acquired programming with the intent of being a commercial network. It was organised so as to not rely on one company but to rather have five concurrent businesses operating, something that ITV would later do once it was launched in 1955. As a result, programming could vary depending on both the time zone and region. However, it came more into line with the introduction of Good Morning Pacifica in 1970. Eventually, the various stations would later rename themselves to simply Penta __.

Programming
Most programming is created by the company that owned the station, though collaborative projects were also created at various times. The primetime portion of its schedule is devoted to either soap operas or sitcoms, with documentaries or reruns airing through the night. Before 2006, a children's programming block once existed but has since become a part of the main programming after Viacom pulled from the agreement that allowed the station to air their programmes from the 1980s onward.
