"Ahead of the country hosting major international sporting events, Brazil's second city is in the grip of a crack cocaine epidemic." 


"Channel 4 is a British free-to-air public service television network. Its headquarters are at 124 Horseferry Road, London, with a National HQ[clarification needed] at the Majestic Cinema, Leeds, and creative hubs in Glasgow and Bristol.[1]

It began its transmission on 2 November 1982, the day after Welsh language broadcaster S4C's launch. The channel was established to provide a fourth television service in the United Kingdom; at the time the only other channels were the licence-funded BBC 1 and BBC 2, and a single commercial broadcasting network ITV. It is publicly owned and advertising-funded; originally a subsidiary of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA),[2] the station is now owned and operated by Channel Four Television Corporation, a public corporation of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport,[3] which was established in 1990 and came into operation in 1993. In 2010, Channel 4 extended service into Wales and became a UK-wide television channel."
