The user below has a request that an edit be made to Red Bull TV. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 884 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

Hello — I work for Red Bull Media House and have declared this above. I am not editing the article directly and am requesting review of the following.

The article currently has no inline citations, which is the basis of the three maintenance banners. It also contains claims that are no longer accurate. Below is a proposed replacement with 13 independent sources. I have deliberately left the three maintenance banners in place; whether they can now be removed is entirely the reviewing editor's call, not mine.

Summary of what changes and why:

Music festivals — the main factual error. The article says in the present tense that Red Bull TV broadcasts Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. Those streams ran in the mid-2010s; US rights moved to Hulu, which held all three from 2022. Recast to past tense with the handoff noted.
UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. Warner Bros. Discovery took over organisation and broadcast rights from 2023. I have not written that Red Bull TV dropped mountain biking, because it still carries coverage — only that Red Bull Media House produced and broadcast the series until 2023.
KASSO paragraph removed. One 2025 broadcast currently occupies more of the article than the service's entire history, and most of it digresses into unrelated TBS programmes.
Dated programme examples replaced with sourced ones.
Music and culture added. Red Bull Music Academy, the festival era, Red Bull BC One and Red Bull Batalla are a substantial part of what the service carried and are absent entirely.
Availability added — the most common reader question, kept to prose rather than a device list to avoid WP:NOTCATALOG.
Infobox added — ` ` rather than `

`, since this is an OTT service and not a linear channel.

External link corrected to the service's own domain.

Happy for any part of this to be modified, trimmed or declined.
