TV Globo Internacional operates satellite television channels around the world, including the United States, Europe, Japan and Africa, bringing a mix of entertainment, news and sports programming to Brazilian and other Portuguese-speaking people. It also operates a similar channel in Portugal, called GNT.
Controversy
Rede Globo had for many years a near-monopoly on viewers, and with it, the power to influence presidential election results, with the use of news favorable to its proprietors' preferred candidates. In 1989, it broadcast an edited debate between Fernando Collor de Mello, who it favoured, and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (current President - 2003/2007), destroying the latter's chances of winning.
In 1993 Channel Four made a documentary "Beyond Citizen Kane" about the power and influence of the network in Brazil. The Marinho family bought the international rights to the documentary, and by refusing to license it to other broadcasters or release it on video, curtailed its distribution worldwide.
