TheTV dos Trabalhadores (Workers' TV, also known asTVT) is a Braziliantelevision broadcaster founded in 2010 with headquarters and studios in the city ofSão Bernardo do Campo and a concession in the city ofMogi das Cruzes, both in themetropolitan region of São Paulo. It belongs to Fundação Sociedade Comunicação, Cultura e Trabalho, founded byABC Metalworkers' Union and Sindicato dos Bancários e Financiários de São Paulo, Osasco and Região that also maintainsRádio Brasil Atual [pt].[1]
In 1986, a production company linked to the Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos do ABC was created with the objective of recording and documenting in video the history and activities of the union.[2]
Years later in 1993, in the face of the employee strike and financial crisis atRede Manchete, theCentral Única dos Trabalhadores presented a proposal to transform the broadcaster into a foundation managed by the union as a form of compensation for late payments. This proposal had the support of the then-governor ofRio de Janeiro,Leonel Brizola, who took the proposal to presidentItamar Franco, who rejected it.[3]
After 15 more years, finally in October 2009, theMinistry of Communications granted a concession to TVT, thus becoming the first television broadcaster granted to a union entity in Brazil. It went on air on August 23, 2010, with the presence of then-presidentLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva at its inauguration ceremony.[2][4] In its first months, it had technical and operational support fromNGT to broadcast its signal in São Paulo.[1]
In April 2014, the Ministry of Communications authorized TVT to transmit its programming in a digital signal to Greater São Paulo.[5]
In September 2017, the broadcaster hired sports commentator José Trajano[6] and in January 2018, hired sports journalistJuca Kfouri to present programs related to sports and politics at the station.[7]
In April 2018, the station reached its largest audience by broadcasting live coverage of theprison sentence of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva [pt], with footage shot by TVT rebroadcast by other stations such asGlobo and Band. The TVT coordinator said at the time that he would sue the broadcasters for copyright infringement.[8]
