History
Rede Brasil signed on for the first time on April 7, 2007.[2] As the channel was building its line-up, most of the schedule consisted of programming from government channels, such as TV Brasil and TV Escola. In September 2007, the channel's offer of original programming consisted of Conceição Forno & Fogão, Nei e Nani (moved from the recently-shut down JBTV), the movie slot Cine Rede Brasil and a variety of cartoons and television series, among them Saint Seiya, Bewitched, Bonanza, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and Mission: Impossible. The line-up was consolidated in 2008, increasing its roster of original programming and international TV series.
The channel received its first warning in August 2009 from the APCM (Associação Antipirataria de Cinema e Música) and representatives of 20th Century Fox, over the illegal broadcast of certain television series. Rede Brasil claimed that it received series from E+ Entretenimento, who also sold series to NGT, as well as airing DVD copies of television series to local channels (E+ in its turn said that they had the rights to the series claiming that they bought the rights from an offshore in the Virgin Islands). Although at the time dozens of local television channels were airing foreign television series in an illegal scheme, only Rede Brasil was notified and removed the series from its schedule.[3]
On September 5, 2012, the channel started digital broadcasts on virtual channel 56.1 in São Paulo (physical channel 10), and started HD broadcasts in 2014 on both terrestrial and subscription television.
The first anime to air on the channel, Saint Seiya, returned to the schedule on April 2, 2013. The series was removed within a month, but returned in October 2016 after a legal contract with Toei Animation to broadcast the series.[4]
In June 2016, due to the fact that the station's owner, Marcos Tolentino, was a friend and partner of Celso Russomanno in the companies Paz and Bell Hel, which were being investigated in the Federal Police's Operation Ararath, a judicial intervention was decreed for the removal of the directors of the station. broadcaster. The ruling called for Fernando Claro Iglesias, a trustee, to take over the management of the company. A search and seizure of documents from the company's archives was also ordered. Rede Brasil de Televisão released a note clarifying that it took legal action, presenting guarantees and making payments, preventing the intervention from taking place. He also stated that Justice was led astray due to the allegations of the defense of Paparazzi de Comunicações, which was responsible for paying the sentence.[5]
RBPlay
In November 2022, Rede Brasil launched RBPLAY, a free streaming application, containing all of the broadcaster's programming.
