The TV Fronteraira, affiliated to Globo based in the prudent president (SP), entered the court against the Rio station with the aim of maintaining the affiliation contract by 2030. The measure was taken after Globo officially communicated that the partnership will end on August 30, 2025.
The case was presented at the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro on Saturday (19), as regards the contractual breakage directly threatens the existence of the border TV and endangers the use of its over 120 professionals, including journalists and broadcasters. According to the affiliated topic, the cost of the possible layoffs resulting from the violation of the obligation can exceed $ 3.2 million.
In addition, the office of the work prosecutor was also involved in case by presenting a parallel action in order to avoid mass layoffs, strengthening the social and economic gravity that change can represent in the region.
According to TV lawyers Fronteraira, the station was forced to sign a contractual additive that has provided for its replacement on TV has the new affiliate of Globo in the region. They argue that the document was signed “in danger”, given the imminent failure and in the name of the minimum maintenance of the stability of its employees.
In the process, the defense of TV Fronterara also states that Globo has ignored the history of the partnership between the companies and adopted “complete institutional contempt”, injuring principles such as good contractual faith and the ban on abuse of the law. The station says that he had no time or structure to reorganize his programming network with financial and technical autonomy.
Globo’s decision to end the contract was motivated by the accusations of political use of TV Fronteraira. The owner of the affiliate, Paulo Oliveira Lima, raced for the Municipality of prudent president in the 2024 elections and appeared in 25 positive relations during the countryside. The Carioca station also considered an inappropriate video of advertising content displayed by the affiliate, which according to what was reported was interpreted as distorted.
“Without practicable alternative and in the face of the imminent risk of failure and mass unemployment, border TV has signed the additive in danger, with the aim of guaranteeing minimal stability for workers,” said the station lawyers in the process.
Similar cases are accumulating in the sector. Recently, the TV Gazeta de Alagoas, belonging to the former president Fernando Collor, also called the court to try to maintain his contract with Globo. Both actions indicate the risk of financial collapse of the affiliates if the signal transmission is interrupted.
