South Sudan

This country is, in fact, tricky, in some kind. While doing the research, I found it difficult to define a date: 1962 is obviously wrong, as the the broadcasts were only receiveable in Khartoum at that time. The war-torn Southern Sudan was not reached by television before the early 1980s (maybe the late 1970s), when additional transmitters were installed throughout the country. But a specific south sudanese television station did not exist before 2010.--Antemister (talk) 16:03, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

The map is about the introduction of television to a country. South Sudan and Sudan were the same country until recently. Therefore the introduction of television to South Sudan is the same date as Sudan. The map does not make specific mentions of different "parts of a country", it is country-wide. For example, if television was introduced in New York in a certain time, but it didn't reach LA until a few years later, this map is not specific enough to discuss that.

Really, the map does also disambiguate between the varios successor states of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. It shows the introduction of TV in today's nations.--Antemister (talk) 18:54, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
