Brazilian broadcasters plan programming shifts for 2027

TV Globo is evaluating changes to its Saturday programming scheduled for 2027, focusing on addressing concerns regarding its afternoon time slot. The network aims to reduce the amount of local programming time allocated to affiliates to better align with other open television networks. As part of this shift, RPC in Paraná has decided to end the program ‘Plug’ after 22 years, resulting in the dismissal of presenter Michelly Correa.

In other media developments, SBT has announced its 2027 upfront concept, ‘SBTem’, a new branding strategy designed to emphasize that the network offers a wide variety of content. Meanwhile, reports suggest that RedeTV! presenter Cariúcha may be personally funding audience costs for the program ‘Superpop’, leading to inconsistent use of a live studio audience. Additionally, the departure of Carol Lekker from SBT has reportedly been marked by tension regarding her conduct behind the scenes.
