TV Jornal do Brasil (better known as TV JB) was a Brazilian television network founded in Rio de Janeiro on April 17, 2007 by businessman Nelson Tanure, owner of Companhia Brasileira de Multimídia (CBM), initially broadcast through a partnership with Flávio Martinez of CNT. The partnership lasted until September 5, when, by court decision, the network had its signal cut due to lack of payment, combined with an internal crisis. On September 10, it returned to air through Rede Brasil, which lasted just one week. The channel closed on September 17, 2007.

Initially, TV JB broadcast six hours a day of its own production, from 6pm to midnight. The channel had headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo (at Gugu Produções) and in Brasília (at the news branch of Grupo CBM). The name was inspired by the newspaper of the same name, owned by the same group.

History

[edit]

Jornal do Brasil had already wanted to have a television station since the 1950s. Interest was first expressed during Juscelino Kubitschek's term as president of the Republic (1956 – 1961). Although well underway, the concession ended up not being granted by the Federal Government for use. In 1961, another attempt, with Jânio Quadros as president, also did not go ahead due to his resignation from the position in the same year. His deputy and successor João Goulart made talks possible, but without obtaining results. In 1973, during the government of Emílio Médici, under a military dictatorship, the periodical was given the concession of channel 9 VHF (formerly occupied by TV Continental)[1] in the then state of Guanabara, which was transferred to Niterói, a neighboring city, then capital of the state of Rio de Janeiro, it was claimed that it was necessary to have a TV station there.[2]

In 1974, at the beginning of Ernesto Geisel's mandate, the newspaper obtained the concession of channel 9 in the city of São Paulo with the intention of forming a national network, which suffered a collapse. The then-presidential director of Jornal do Brasil Nascimento Brito stated that the broadcaster suffered a boycott in relation to corporate sponsorship and federal advertising funds — the periodical criticized the government's nationalizing economic policy. In 1978, with the deadline to inaugurate the network running out, the two channels designed for the newspaper were returned to the Union.[2]

In 1985, in another attempt to create a network, Jornal do Brasil, together with João Havelange, then president of FIFA, who had the support of directors of the Mexican media conglomerate Televisa, acquired the corresponding part to TV presenter Silvio Santos from the shares of the group of radio and television stations owned by businessman Paulo Machado de Carvalho. Among them were Record AM and FM radio stations in São Paulo, TV Record in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, TV Rio Preto and TV Imperador.[2] However, shortly afterwards, control of the stations returned to the Machado de Carvalho family (with the exception of Record in Rio, which goes to Guilherme Stoliar, nephew of Silvio Santos).

In 2006, reported appeared in the press that Companhia Brasileira de Multimídia would be purchasing Central Nacional de Televisão. Only after a few weeks, a press release was distributed informing that in fact it was just a rental of time slots.[3] In August 2006, the owner of CNT, Flávio Martinez, rented all of his stations' programming to the president of CBM, Nelson Tanure, for R$3 million/month in a 5-year renewable contract. In September, CBM took over the programming and commercial management of the channel, however, without any apparent new developments. In October, the new managers leased the premises of the Casablanca production company to use as the headquarters of the new broadcaster. In November, Boris Casoy[4] and Clodovil Hernandes were hired.[5] In December, CNT broadcast the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup under the CNT/JB brand. In January 2007, the new managers gave up on leasing Casablanca and opted to lease the building of Gugu Produções, producer of Gugu Liberato in Barueri.[6] CNT Jornal began to be provisionally produced in the studios of the Central Nacional de Televisão in Rio de Janeiro (produced in the same studio as Jornal do Meio Dia, shown at the time only in Rio de Janeiro). In February, the Rio de Janeiro Samba Schools Parade (Access A) is broadcast, still under the CNT brand. In March, all programs produced by CNT were terminated, including sports and news programs such as CNT Jornal.

Launch

[edit]

On Tuesday, April 17 (originally scheduled for the previous Tuesday, April 10), at 6pm on, the station opens (between midnight and 6pm, the time was occupied by independent productions and infomercials).[7] In a report published in Jornal do Brasil on the same day, it is highlighted that the channel's idea was to "get away from the easy audience and low-level programming - so in vogue on over-the-air channels", through "critical journalism and programs with the refinement of Pay TV".[8] The programthat marked the beginning of the station's activities was a program aimed at teenagers entitled Na Rua. At 10pm, Telejornal do Brasil premiered. At the premiere of the programming, the network's main transmitter in São Paulo, with 40 kW, catched fire and TV JB is forced to debut with a 10 kW backup transmitter. The enthusiasm provoked by the launch of the channel was such that Nelson Tanure, president of the CBM group, stated in a report published in Jornal do Brasil that the new broadcaster would easily be "the third largest television network in Brazil" with an expected affiliation of 66 stations, hoping to achieve the goal by 2012. The network was also one of the possible affiliations TV Pampa would follow after May 31, when its contract with Record expired.[9]

In April of the same year, the Portuguese-Brazilian series Segredo premiered, originally shown by RTP and presented in a soap opera format by TV JB under the name Coração Navegador. The decision was made to Brazilianize the series with another title, a new opening with the song "Vira Virou", by Kleiton & Kledir and the dubbing of the Portuguese actors' lines. The plot was recorded in Porto Alegre.

Financial problems, move to Rede Brasil and shutdown

[edit]

In May, the first complaints from employees about the station's financial situation occurred. On May 25, a team from TV JB in Rio de Janeiro was robbed in Complexo do Alemão.[10] In May, the program Manhã Mulher debuted, presented daily between 10am and 12pm. In June, it was reported that the channel's audience was just 0.1 point (known in local terminology as the "traço", literally "dash") on IBOPE in São Paulo, justified by its poor signal.[11] In the same month, Coração Navegador stopped being shown without explanation, so its ending was not presented. 15 of the 60 episodes were shown, later being repeated before taken off the air.[12] TV JB suspends payments for both channel leasing and studio rental.[13] On June 27, the channel inaugurates a new transmitter in Rio de Janeiro.[14] In July, Clodovil Hernandes was fired from the network after disagreements with the production of his program, without the right to a termination fine.[15][16]

In August, TV JB's programming schedule changes constantly due to the crisis. Despite the attempt at renegotiation, Flávio Martinez gives up on the deal and asks the court to break the contract. On September 3, TV JB announced with great excitement the hiring of Sérgio Mallandro for a program on Sunday afternoons, but it never debuted.[17] In September, the São Paulo court, in an injunction favorable to the CNT, authorized it to cut the signal, carried out on the 6th.[18] To cover the space left, reruns of its own programs, originally produced in the 1990s, were shown.[19] On the same day, TV JB returned to air on the newly created Rede Brasil.[20] The official launch of the new partnership took place on September 10.[21] However, after a week on the air, CBM decided to end its television project, claiming that its end was linked to "the technical quality of the transmission network [CNT] which did not serve commercial customers or TVJB's audience". With the closure, 200 employees were laid off.[22] In the same month, the group requested a survey of all TV quotes for sale in the period to try to relaunch the channel.[23] The short-lived TV JB was called "Mico do Ano" (Mistake of the Year) in an article published in the newspaper O Globo, at the end of 2007.[24]
