A possible chair swap in Brazilian TV could be with Band’s Fausto Silva, Record’s Rodrigo Faro and TV Globo’s Márcio Garcia.
The information was released this week by Ricardo Feltrin, columnist for syringes🇧🇷 According to the journalist’s report, the cuts that were made on television in 2022 are likely to be due to the election year.
Faust Silva
The communicator in charge of “Faustão na Band” since January 2022 met with executives from SBT and Record. The businessmen examined him in order to present him with a contract proposal.
The meeting was motivated after Faustão was told his program would suffer further cost and staff cuts. In July, F5 published that “Faustão na Band” had laid off around 40 employees.
In a press release, the channel explained that Faustão’s programming accounts for more than half of the channel’s profits. Band also predicts viewership and revenue growth in 2023.
He has a fiveyear contract with Band, but the deal allows for splits. The moderator must remain on the station.
Rodrigo Faro
The artist responsible for the program “Hora do Faro” has not yet renewed his contract with Record TV. According to the columnist’s findings, the current agreement ends on December 31 at 11:59 p.m.
That was enough to spark rumors that 49yearold Faro would be replaced by Márcio Garcia. However, Record TV denied the rumors in a statement sent to Feltrin.
“The only ongoing negotiation is the extension of Rodrigo Faro’s contract,” the TV station said in a statement.
After 14 years with Edir Macedo’s broadcaster, Record TV did not seek out the moderator to extend his contract until yesterday.
Faro currently earns R$1.2 million per month, according to Metrópoles. Record’s interest is to extend the agreement with a 75 percent cut of that value.
Marco Garcia
With a contract until 2024, Márcio Garcia has been removed from the command of “The Voice Kids” on Globo. Nevertheless, he can terminate the contract by mutual agreement.
Even after Feltrin’s research, there were rumors yesterday that the artist had already terminated his contract with Globo. However, the TV station denied the information.
