SBT 45th anniversary celebrations

Overview

The Brazilian television network SBT is conducting a month-long celebration throughout August 2026 to mark its 45th anniversary, a milestone dating back to the network’s founding on August 19, 1981. The celebrations include commemorative vignettes, retrospective content, and special programming across various shows.

During the festivities, presenter Faustão made a rare televised appearance to honor his son, João Silva, for his first year hosting a program on the network, while also paying tribute to the legacy of founder Silvio Santos and entertainer Hebe Camargo. Faustão, who has been away from regular television since 2023 following heart and kidney transplants, is currently undergoing muscle rehabilitation to regain physical autonomy, according to his wife, Luciana Cardoso.

Anniversary programming has featured special episodes of ‘Bake Off Brasil – Mão na Massa’, where contestants in the twelfth season participated in a challenge involving birthday cakes and ‘Mousse Real’. The ‘Programa Silvio Santos com Patricia Abravanel’ has included a ‘Qual É a Música’ segment and a ‘Jogo das 3 Pistas’ competition between veteran presenter Raul Gil and journalist Rodrigo Bocardi. Additionally, ‘Fofocalizando’ has hosted special editions featuring historical relics from iconic shows such as ‘Chaves’ and ‘Passa ou Repassa’.

These celebrations coincide with the second anniversary of the passing of Silvio Santos, who died at age 93 in São Paulo. His daughters, Cintia and Silvia Abravanel, shared social media tributes honoring his charisma and wisdom. The network is also airing an ‘SBT Repórter’ special that revisits historical moments and behind-the-scenes stories through interviews with artists and journalists.
