TVE Brasil (Brazilian network)

Televisão Educativa (TVE) was a major Brazilian TV network based in Rio de Janeiro, now defunct. It was founded in 1975 and ended on December 2, 2007, being replaced by TV Brasil, the Brazilian federal government channel.

TVE Brazil coordinated with the defunct TV Cultura Televisão Public Rede. For many years, TVE Brazil was fairly well watched amongst Brazilians, with some 16 million viewers reported.^[1] Until the beginning of the 1990, TVE Brazil was under the supervision of the Ministry of Education (Brazil). Until this year, each medium was administered alone, there was no central body each and every programming station operated separately.

Without a well-defined communication policy, successive changes in the presidency and total lack of fiscal responsibility by the directors, the Foundation Roquette Pinto went into bankruptcy with debts over 34 million reais. The federal government radically changed the way they operated in 1998 and founded ACERP (Associação de Comunicação Educativa Roquette Pinto), as a social organization, taking its staff, assets and concessions. In 2007 it was surrendered to the Brazil Comunicação Company (EBC), which was linked to the Ministry of Social Communication of the Brazilian Government and ceased operations, now replaced by TV Brasil.
