Not to be confused with Antena 3.
Background
3 Antena was a Brazilian pirate TV channel in 1990 that broadcast over-the-top shock content, political mockery, pornography and much more edgy and disturbing content as a way of mocking the mainstream media and the politicians of the time. People who were caught watching the channel in public were arrested.

Visuals:
- Intro: A colour test card appears, then a skull with an eye patch flashes different colours before going back to the test card, "3 Antena" is written and a hand doing the "OK" gesture flies onto the base of the number 3, after going back to the test card, waving, flashing lines appear covered by the text "CANAL 8".
- Outro: A brown CRT TV can be seen getting zapped by lightning, a row of coloured skulls move into the left side of the TV, a skull gets rotated, then a red skull bounces around inside the tube. The same unintelligible words from the intro appear at the end.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A bongo theme, alongside stock sound effects of a bullet ricochet, an explosion, and high pitched laughter.
Availability: The channel did not last long as the government found its content offensive and shut it down quickly. Only 2 broadcasts have been archived online, but it is not recommended to seek them out due to the shocking content.
