Television SBT celebrates its 30th anniversary
The station began broadcasting [1] on August 19, 1981. To remember a little of its history, SBT is airing [2] a weekly program called "SBT - Festival 30 anos"
Silvio Santos began his career in television in the early 1960s. By the late 1970s he was considered the greatest presenter in the history of Brazilian television. But it was only on August 19, 1981, that he achieved one of his biggest dreams: to own his own TV station. Early programming was modest, with movies, cartoons and a bit of journalism. The biggest attraction, of course, wasthe traditional "Programa Silvio Santos," shown on Sundays. Over the years the station enriched its programming and grew a lot. Now, Silvio Santos' channel competes with “Rede Record” for second place in the Ibope ratings, after Globo.
A journey through time....
In May SBT put together a special program to tell a little of its history. Presented by Patricia Abravanel, one of Silvio Santos' daughters, SBT - Festival 30 Anos has been featured on Saturday nights. In total, 17 programs will be shown by the end of August. Watching this program is liketaking a trip back in time [3] and remembering landmark [4] programs, such as "Jô Soares Onze e Meia" and "Casa dos Artistas," as well as enjoying again old editions of the comedy show, "A Praça é Nossa." The program also provides an opportunity for the public to watch special features on the series "Chaves" and to watch again some of the greats of Brazilian television, like the late [5] comedian, Ronald Golias.
