CNN Brasil

Cable News Network Brasil, also known as CNN Brasil and abbreviated as CNN BR, is a Brazilian news-based pay television channel and news website. Launched on 15 March 2020, CNN Brasil is owned by Novus Mídia, a joint-venture between Douglas Tavolaro, former header of Record's news division, and Rubens Menin, owner of MRV Engenharia. Novus Mídia has a licensing agreement with the original CNN channel owned by Skydance Corporation through CNN Worldwide. CNN Brasil is the second local franchise of CNN in South America, after CNN Chile. Its headquarters are in São Paulo, with offices in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, besides international bureaus with almost 400 journalists. Previously, in 2017, the channel did a partnership with RedeTV! and Simba Content, formed by SBT and Record, which had no success. Programs are aired 24 hours daily via digital terrestrial TV networks, pay TV providers in Brazil; and live streaming services for overseas viewers.
