Rede Globo is present in all states of the country and is the market leader, with a share of 40-60% of the audience. The national news, "Jornal Nacional," was the first to be transmitted nationaly in Brazil.
It is famous for the telenovelas (soap operas) which, together with the news and football, dominate primetime viewing in Brazil. These are exported all over the world, especially to Portugal where they have a cult following, and are also shown dubbed into different languages.

Controversy
Rede Globo had for many years a near-monopoly on viewers, and with it, the power to influence presidential election results, with the use of news favorable to its proprietors' preferred candidates. In 1989, it broadcast an edited debate between Fernando Collor de Mello, who it favoured, and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (current President - 2003/2006), destroying the latter's chances of winning.
In 1993 Channel Four made a documentary "Beyond Citizen Kane" about the power and influence of the network in Brazil. The Marinho family got the tape out of circulation.
