History
The channel was created following the lack of renewal of Globo's contract with DStv, its longtime African partner, set to expire on June 30, 2015. In May 2015, it signed a contract with ZAP, which assured the exclusivity of its distribution, not only of Globo Internacional África, but also of an all-new channel, Globo On.[1][2] The agreement also caused a rift among female subscribers, who were used to watching Globo Internacional's programming.[3]
Before the launch, Globo Internacional promoted a large-scale advertising campaign in Angola, the largest it invested there in its history. On June 19, Globo promoted a press conference and a party celebrating the new partnership.[4] On launch night (July 1), a special edition of Vídeo Show produced in both countries aired.[5]
During the Big Brother Brasil season, the channel also airs its eviction shows on Thursdays.[6] In mid-2024, the channel aired repeats of Estrela da Casa from the previous day, as seen on Globo Internacional.[7]
