Corinthians’ 3-0 victory over Fortaleza in the Copa Sul-Americana once again secured SBT’s audience leadership during the broadcast. While Globo led during the first half with the soap opera “Mania de Você,” SBT took over in the second half, around 10:40 PM, with strong viewership numbers.
Cléber Machado Celebrates Audience Win
Commentator Cléber Machado humorously celebrated SBT’s lead, referencing the “badalar dos sinos” – the network’s symbol for topping the ratings. He thanked viewers for their support and expressed hope that the broadcast met their expectations.
Consistent Success for SBT
This was a repeat performance, as SBT also led in audience ratings during the first leg of the Corinthians vs. Fortaleza match. With football continuing to draw large TV audiences, SBT has capitalized on key matches to strengthen its position in prime-time slots.
