Grupo Globo (Portuguese pronunciation:[ˈɡɾu.puˈɡlo.bu];lit. 'Globe Group'), formerly and still legally known asOrganizações Globo[3] ([oʁ.ɡa.ni.zaˈsõj̃sˈɡlo.bu];lit. 'Globe Organization'[4]), is a Brazilianprivateentertainment andmass mediaconglomerate based inRio de Janeiro, Brazil. Founded in 1925 by Irineu Marinho, it is the largest media group in Latin America, and one of the world's largestmedia conglomerates.[5][6][7][8]
Grupo Globo's assets comprise over-the-air broadcasting, television and film production, pay television subscription service, streaming media, publishing, and online services. Its main properties include media companyGlobo, consiting of the flagship television networkTV Globo; the streaming serviceGloboplay, pay television content unitCanais Globo, consisting of cable television networks such asGloboNews,GNT,Multishow,SporTV,Viva,Gloob, and the premium film networkTelecine; film production companyGlobo Filmes; radio operatorSistema Globo de Rádio and magazine and newspaper publisher,Editora Globo, includingInfoglobo [pt].
The company's first enterprise was the newspaperA Noite. With its success, publishing in the late afternoon, Irineu Marinho decided to launch the morning dailyO Globo in 1925. After his sudden death, just weeks after its launch, his son,Roberto Pisani Marinho, became the company's director. Working actively in the media business, Roberto Marinho decided to invest in other areas and launched Radio Globo in 1944. However, the company only became recognizable nationwide after the launching of Rede Globo (now known asTV Globo), the world's second-largest commercial TV network in 1965.[9]
The company is currently run by the sons of Roberto Marinho:Roberto Irineu Marinho,João Roberto Marinho andJosé Roberto Marinho. In May 2013, a study released by media agencyZenithOptimedia showed Globo occupied the 17th place in a list of the top global media owners. It was the first time the company appeared on this ranking.[10] This ranking remained in 2015,[11] but in 2017 the company's fell to 19th place,[12] and in June of the same year Grupo Globo signed a joint venture deal withVice Media.[13]
