Globo is implementing a strategic shift to increase the commercial value of its programming through expanded telenovela production and diversified distribution. Initially, the broadcaster focused on enhancing international sales and reintroducing a 10 p.m. time slot, utilizing high-quality studio productions to drive merchandising and engagement. This included efforts to recover viewership for specific titles like ‘Quem Ama Cuida’ through intensive promotional campaigns.

Building on this, the strategy has evolved to prioritize drama and mobile-first content. By 2027, the network plans to expand its dramatic offerings across various time slots, including a new 10:30 p.m. slot. A key component of this evolution is the integration of vertical video formats; every new telenovela will include at least one derivative story produced for mobile devices. This multi-distribution approach aims to leverage the success of micro-dramas to drive advertising revenue and attract streaming subscribers to Globoplay.
