TNT uses Big Bang on their website and TV promos . So does Movistar. Even Neox repeatedly refers to it as "Big Bang" .

Sorry but that is a short of the TVShow name here in Spain, as it could be TBBT, but not the real name.
Neox was the first channel to broadcast it and it named it "The Big Bang Theory", when you say Neox refers to it as "Big Bang" if you follow the link you will see it calls it clearly "The Big Bang Theory" in the title which is what should matter, and uses "Big Bang" in the URL to short it, but not in the title where it states "The Big Bang Theory", it also calls it "Big Bang" to refer to the TVShow in descriptions, as you could say "TBBT" in English.
See this:
Blurays are sold as "The Big Bang Theory": https://www.amazon.es/Big-Bang-Theory-Temporada-Blu-ray/dp/B074BNZPB1 Main media newspapers also uses the full name: https://elpais.com/cultura/2018/08/22/television/1534964266_435151.html and https://www.elmundo.es/television/2019/05/21/5ce418fdfdddff96208b45e0.html
Name should be "The Big Bang Theory" and "Big Bang" just an alias in "Alternative titles".

I'm not denying The Big Bang Theory was also use in Spain. But if CBS used TBBT instead of The Big Bang Theory, the original name would be TBBT.

Hello, No, TNT broadcasts in Spanish in Spain, but it's an American channel owned by Warner. "The Big Bang Theory" aired in Spain simultaneously with the United States due to an agreement; its original airing in Spain was on NEOX, part of the Atresmedia group.
Currently, the series, as reported by many, is being named according to TNT's title, as it airs in Colombia and Venezuela under the name "BIG BANG." However, this is incorrect for Spanish or Castilian in Spain; it originally aired as "The Big Bang Theory," so it should be corrected.
In this same post, some users are shifting official Spanish Castilian covers to English and deleting promotional videos in Spanish to erase traces. Please take the necessary measures as these disputes are exhausting. The series in Spanish, Castilian is: "The Big Bang Theory," registered as such in 2007 by the government ministry managing, controlling, and protecting these rights, the "ICAA," with registration number 11211140 for the first season.

I'm adding extra information: TNT Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_(American_TV_network) On the right-hand side, it states that it is a subscription channel. It also mentions that it broadcasts from the United States and Puerto Rico, neither of which is Spain. Should TMDB study geography?

It doesn't matter that the orignal TNT channel is American. They launched local versions of the channel all over the world, including TNT España in Spain. Also, being rude to mods is not exacly going to make us want to help you.

Hi, Rudeness emerges when, after over a month with the issue and providing information that is more than official, a channel like TNT, which is a paid service and didn't premiere the television series in Spain, is still being considered valid. Similarly, although TNT held broadcasting rights three years ago, the series premiered on NEOX in 2007, and I've provided all the pertinent data.
This leads to the internet being filled with so much incorrect information, digital platforms using TMDB's API, thus magnifying the error, and legitimizing something that is wrong.
I've had a lot of patience, but when I see the error persisting, it bothers me. The data that should be valid is from the ICAA because it protects the copyright and exploitation rights of the product in Spain, so the title should be respected.
After correctly inputting all the covers, other users keep changing them and switching to another language because they don't want the Latin name to disappear and want it to be respected. They are causing an excess of work for me. I try to make everything as accurate as possible, as you know from other times, but if you consider valid the information from a channel like 'TNT' that obtained broadcast permissions for the series in 2018 instead of considering valid the information from NEOX that premiered it exclusively in 2007 alongside the United States and was registered in the ICAA, which manages, controls, and defends the rights. In the case of 'TNT,' it may be infringing on copyright in Spain since it was registered as The Big Bang Theory, and 'TNT' in Spain has already been informed.
Ultimately, when an error is validated, it generally bothers me, just as it might bother you when they try to modify something about your country and consider it correct when it's an error.
I've wasted a lot of time on TMDB with this issue. IMDB has appreciated my contribution and immediately corrected it since they understand that the ICAA is the authority in Spain, not a TV channel. So, I won't invest more time; in the end, TMDB will include Latin American information in the Spanish language, and I'll rely on data and contribute to IMDB, which seems to verify and corroborate information.
Best regards.
