Christina Rocha and Carol Lekker join Record amid Brazilian TV shifts
Brazilian television is seeing significant personnel shifts as presenters move between major networks. Christina Rocha has been confirmed by Record to host the ‘Cabine de Descompressão’ for the 18th season of the reality show ‘A Fazenda’. This move follows her departure from SBT, where she hosted ‘Casos de Família’.
Simultaneously, Carol Lekker has left SBT’s ‘Fofocalizando’ following a dispute over salary increases. Lekker reported that her monthly earnings of approximately R$ 10,000 were insufficient to cover the cost of living in São Paulo. She has since transitioned to Record, where she will receive roughly R$ 20,000 to provide coverage for ‘A Fazenda 18’ via LinkTV.
Lekker’s departure has sparked public debate, including criticism from presenter Cariúcha regarding her exit from SBT. Meanwhile, SBT is reportedly seeking a replacement for Lekker, though initial attempts to recruit journalist Fábia Oliveira were unsuccessful due to professional commitments.
