SBT Confirms Rinaldi Faria’s Exit as Consultant as Presidency Leads Programming Overhaul

The network calls it a mutual termination, with the presidency taking charge of the restructuring.

Overview

  • An official note emailed to journalists shortly before 10 p.m. on Nov. 18 announced the mutual end of Faria’s consultancy.
  • Faria had been at SBT for about a year and since July was carrying the interim duties of the artistic and programming superintendency.
  • The statement thanked Faria for his contributions and said the reorganization of the artistic and programming area will be directed by SBT’s presidency.
  • Public reaction included posts from Danilo Gentili and Alexandre Frota celebrating the departure, while president Daniela Abravanel Beyruti publicly praised Faria and rejected negative narratives.
  • Folha de S.Paulo reported friction over scheduling and casting decisions, including complaints from Ratinho and efforts to give visibility to Faria’s son, though SBT’s note did not address these accounts.
