The SBT presenter died this Saturday, aged 93, and caused drastic changes in the programming of the country’s main broadcasters
The death of Silvio Santo messed up Brazilian TV. Not only because of the impact of losing one of the greatest communicators in the history of Brazil, but also because of the change in its schedules. THE Globewhich was once the biggest “rival” of SBT de Silvio, today, is on air at plan story in his honor.
THE Newspaper Today It was extended (and practically monothematic) presented by Zileide Silva and Alan Severiano, followed by Renata Vasconcellos and César Tralli, in the scenario of National newspaperinteracting with important names in contemporary TV explaining the importance of the communicator.
A Globe Reporter special, even outside the broadcast day, was announced after the soap opera Renascer this Saturday, the 17th. Recorded Cauldron with Mion It also brought a touching tribute from Marcos Mion, who has already declared that he has a reference in Silvio (after all, he has been used to imitating him on air on several occasions, since the MTV days).
The station has so far managed to play the role of tribute well, even in a cheerful atmosphere, but without disrespect. In the early hours there was one difference compared to SBT: it gave more voice to the presenter.
Silvio’s channel, in addition to spending almost 1h30 to denounce the loss of its most important name, also seems to have chosen to give more space to the speeches of those who remain rather than those who leave. Despite the many archive images, among the memories little has been learned of Silvio’s old statements or suggestive speeches.
Perhaps at his request, who, according to the family, “asked us not to exploit his passing.” “He enjoyed being celebrated while he was alive and would like to be remembered with the joy he felt,” the Abravanels said in an open letter released earlier, justifying the lack of a wake open to the public.
On Globo, among the names heard, some ‘home’ names like Eliana, Serginho Groisman and Fabio Porchat, but also others from the competition, like Raul Gil and Cristina Rocha. In the midst of everything, some interviews and songs by Silvio also gained space on the screen.
Smiles remembering Silvio Santos
Zileide Silva and Alan Severiano, who ran Jornal Hoje, for example, smiled at various moments. “Who has never laughed at Silvio Santos’ laugh? He was always funny, but if he wasn’t, we would laugh too,” Alan said.
Zileide recalled his time working at the SBT headquarters in Vila Guilherme. In one of his stories, he described the presenter’s good mood when his car was ‘helped’ by a truck full of storks: “Everyone was worried, tense, and he was laughing, having fun!”
Other curious stories have also emerged. Porchat recalled the occasion when Silvio Santos read one of his columns State – and he realized many of his dreams when he went to SBT (to understand). Luciano Huck emphasized: “On television he was always very sincere. The last time I spoke to him he welcomed me into his home in pajamas and slippers.”
From a helicopter, images of the former and current headquarters of SBT, this one with the flag at half-mast in evidence. The journalists spread out at the points that portrayed the presenter’s path: in Rio de Janeiro, the region where he was born, in Lapa. In São Paulo, the street in front of Silvio’s house, the place where the Silvio Santos theater and the Albert Einstein hospital were located, where he spent his last days.
