The company manages to reach almost every corner of the country due to its history and reach, however this is only possible because of its partnerships with those who have a contract to exhibit programming from broadcaster.
Globo is trying to comply with the requirement of the law, which says that the authorization to retransmit television content needs to be renewed every 15 years. The last renewal made by the company took place in 2008 through a decree by former president Lula, who until then was the country's ruler.
The current request is presented under the government of Jair Bolsonaro, who has made several attacks on the station. It is no wonder that it has already become clear that there is a possibility that he is hindering this renewal. In an interview held on Tupi radio in Rio de Janeiro, in February this year, the current president recalled that TV Globo should be making its request by the end of this year, close to the elections for its succession.
“For my part, for everyone, you have to be up to date [with the documentation required by law to obtain the concession],” he said. “We are not going to chase anyone. We will only enforce the legislation for these concession renewals. We have information that they will have difficulties, ”he concluded.
Parliamentarians chosen by Bolsonaro and also supporters of the president often call the TV station “Globo Lixo”. It is worth noting that Bolsonaro's chances of actually preventing the broadcaster's renewal are practically nil. Yes, it is possible that the government team delays the analysis of documents at the Ministry of Communications, but the concession remains valid, even if it is in a precarious way.
After passing through this part, the request will go to the president's office, which will be able to approve the request by sending a decree to the National Congress. If not, he can simply fail you.
The final decision on renewal rests with parliament. Approval is considered highly likely. In addition, if Bolsonaro fails to win this year's elections, scheduled for October, it will be up to the new president to make a decision regarding the renewal request.
