Rede Globo (English: Globo Network, better known as TV Globo or simply Globo) is a Brazilian television network, owned by Organizações Globo. Globo began its TV transmission on April 26, 1965 in Rio de Janeiro, broadcasting in channel 4 of the VHF spectrum. The network is currently one of the largest in Latin America and the fourth largest in the world, watched by 80 million people daily.[1][2]
Globo is headquartered in the Jacarepaguá neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Its news division is based in São Paulo, while the network's main production studios are located at a complex dubbed Projac, located in Rio's northern area. In 2007, Globo will move their analogue operations to a purpose-built high-definition television production in digital broadcasting.

[edit] History
In 1962, a controversial agreement between Time-Life and Organizações Globo, Roberto Marinho's holding company, gave Marinho access to some $6 million with which he could buy equipment and build an infra-structure for Globo. In return, Time-Life would be entitled to 30% of all profits from Globo's TV operation. As a point of comparison, the largest TV station in Brazil at the time, TV Tupi, had been built for around $300,000.[3]
The agreement was widely seen as illegal, as the Brazilian constitution of the time prohibited any foreign person or company from owning an interest in a Brazilian media company. In trying to address the legal aspects, the agreement specifically mentioned that its terms did not give Time-Life or Time, Inc. the right to shares or to interfere in the management of Globo's operations. In practice Time-Life wielded great influence inside Globo: Joseph Wallace, the former director of Time-Life's TV station in California, became a de facto executive director at Globo.[3]
Globo began its broadcast on April 26, 1965 in Rio de Janeiro. In 1966 it purchased another station, TV Paulista, based in São Paulo.
On April 1st, 1964, a military-led coup deposed the elected government of João Goulart. As the military reduced the democratic institutions of Brazil, it simultaneously sought to increase its hold over the media. At the time, Marinho had been a supporter of the coup, but his deal with Time-Life was still being investigated by congress. The military decided against the deal, which ultimately allowed Marinho to get out of the deal under exceptional terms. In 1969, Marinho terminated the deal with Time-Life by agreeing to pay back the $6 million dollars invested over the next few years. This in effect meant that Marinho could repay the infra-structure provided by Time-Life and would no longer have the 30% profit-sharing obligation to Time-Life.[3]
Globo has since expanded to become the largest TV Network in Brazil, with over $2 billion dollars in revenue in 1992.[3] It is famous for the telenovelas (soap operas) which, together with the news and football, dominate primetime viewing in Brazil. These are exported to several countries, to both Portuguese-speaking countries and elsewhere, where they are dubbed into local languages.

[edit] Availability
Globo is simulcast in analogue and digital broadcast, in standard definition and 1080i high definition. On December 2, 2007, test simulcasts for 1080i begin in the São Paulo market; Rio de Janeiro, Brasília and Belo Horizonte followed on February, 2008, with other capitals following on the next months.[4] Prior to this, the Globo Network provided only 576i standard definition service.[5][6]
Globo is broadcast in metropolitan areas through a number of owned-and-operated stations including G-RJ Rio de Janeiro, G-SP São Paulo, G-DF Brasília, G-MG Belo Horizonte, G-NE Recife. Globo Network programming is also carried into other areas of regional Brazil by 147 locally-branded affiliate networks owned by third-parties. The Globo Network covers 98,53% of the territory of Brazil.[1]
[edit] Centers
Globo has its main production complex in Rio de Janeiro. The "Projac" (officially named "Central Globo de Produção", or Globo Production Center), where most of their shows are produced, is one of largest TV production centers in the world and the biggest in Latin America, with numerous lots and urban areas as backdrops for soap operas.
In the late 90s, Globo moved its news division--encompassing both news desks, production staff and studios--to the city of São Paulo in the Itaim Bibi district.
[edit] Controversy
[edit] Elections
As a consequence of the size of its viewership, Globo Network is in a position exert significant influence over the outcome of a local or national election. In the 1989 presidential elections, Globo aired the final debate between Fernando Collor de Mello and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but edited the debate in such a way that Collor received considerable more air time than Lula, and juxtaposed some of Collor's more eloquent responses with some of Lula's less eloquent responses. Years later, the network publicly apologized for the incident, and electoral law was changed to prohibit networks to show edited versions of political debates and enacted a law similar to the American equal-time rule. The theme was openly discussed in Jornal Nacional's official book, which was released in 2006.
[edit] Beyond Citizen Kane
In 1993 Channel Four made a documentary, Beyond Citizen Kane, about the power and influence of the network in Brazil. The documentary had participations of great Brazilian political characters, including Leonel Brizola, who was also a political adversary of Globo Network.
[edit] Rede Record and Record News
Globo has had a tempestuous history with the organization which owns Brazil's 2nd largest TV network: Rede Record. Record's owners, the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, were mired in controversy during the church's growth, including an incident in 1995, when Globo aired a tape which showed the church's founder, Edir Macedo, teaching other church officials how to manipulate church followers into giving more money to the church.[7]
On September 27, 2007, Globo's rival, Record , launched Brazil's first free-to-view 24-hour news channel on terrestrial television, Record News. Two days before the launch, the Vice-President of Organizações Globo, Evandro Guimarães, went to Brasilia to meet government officials, including the Communications Minister, Hélio Costa, accusing Record Network of owning two television networks, Record Network and Record News, inside the city of São Paulo, in violation of Brazilian law. Record attacked Globo in an editorial in its national news broadcast, Jornal da Record, accusing Globo of trying to save its monopoly on media and news, and claimed that Globo was "afraid" of Record News.[8]
In its response, Record cited Globo's past controversies and the network's supportive relationship with Brazil's Military Dictatorship.
