Record News (formerly known asRede Mulher) is the first 24-hourfree-to-airterrestrialnews channel inBrazil, and the third Brazilian news channel to be launched afterGloboNews andBandNews TV. It is owned byGrupo Record.
In 1953,TV Record started as the second Brazilian TV channel (the first was the defunctRede Tupi). As the network celebrated its 54th anniversary, a new channel has been launched. This is the first Brazilian free-to-air and terrestrial news channel. The on air button was pushed at 8:15pm (Brasília time) by the then presidentLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva andEdir Macedo, the network's owner.
Through theRecord Europa subsidiary, Record News is widely available across digital platforms in Portugal. It is mostly a simulcast of Record News in Brazil, with some local content.
Reality shows/Game shows
Two days prior to the launch of Record News, the Vice-President ofOrganizações Globo, Evandro Guimarães, went toBrasília to meet government officials, including the Communications Minister, Hélio Costa, accusingRede Record of owning two television networks, Rede Record and Record News, inside the city ofSão Paulo. In Brazilian Law, it is illegal to own more than one television station in a city.[2]
When Guimarāes trip to Brasília was revealed in a blog owned by the newspaperFolha de S. Paulo, Rede Record attackedRede Globo in an editorial in its national news broadcast, Jornal da Record, accusing Rede Globo of trying to rescue its monopoly on the media and news, and also claiming that Rede Globo was afraid of Record News because Rede Globo, which owns its own news channelGlobo News, which is only a payable cable channel, would lose advertising revenue from Globo News to Record News. Rede Record also said that Record News was located outside the city of São Paulo, so Record News was broadcasting legitimately. Rede Record also mentioned Rede Globo's past dealings which could be considered illegal and a crime in Brazilian law, and Rede Globo's relationship with Brazil'smilitary dictatorship. Rede Globo also claimed it was representing another television rival,Rede Bandeirantes, but Rede Record responded that Rede Bandeirantes owns two channels in Sāo Paulo.
Rede Globo responded to Rede Record's attack by saying it had no merits, it had no proof that Rede Globo had done anything illegal in the past, and Rede Record was just jealous of Rede Globo's high ratings.
