History
In 1953, TV Record started as the second Brazilian TV channel (the first was the defunct Rede Tupi). As the network celebrated its 54th anniversary, a new channel was launched. This is the first Brazilian free-to-air and terrestrial news channel. The on-air button was pushed at 8:15pm (Brasília time) by then-president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Edir Macedo, the network's owner.
Through the Record Europa subsidiary, Record News is widely available across digital platforms in Portugal. It is mostly a simulcast of Record News in Brazil, with some local content.

Controversy
Summarize
Perspective
Two days prior to the launch of Record News, the Vice-President of Organizações Globo, Evandro Guimarães, went to Brasília to meet government officials, including the Communications Minister, Hélio Costa, accusing Rede Record of owning two television networks, Rede Record and Record News, inside the city of São Paulo. In Brazilian law, it is illegal to own more than one television station in a city.[2]
When Guimarães's trip to Brasília was revealed in a blog owned by the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo, Rede Record attacked Rede Globo in an editorial in its national news broadcast, Jornal da Record, accusing Rede Globo of trying to rescue its monopoly on the media and news, and also claiming that Rede Globo was afraid of Record News because Rede Globo, which owns its own news channel Globo News, which is only a payable cable channel, would lose advertising revenue from Globo News to Record News. Rede Record also said that Record News was located outside the city of São Paulo, so Record News was broadcasting legitimately. Rede Record also mentioned Rede Globo's past dealings which could be considered illegal and a crime in Brazilian law, and Rede Globo's relationship with Brazil's military dictatorship. Rede Globo responded to Rede Record's attack by saying it had no merits, it had no proof that Rede Globo had done anything illegal in the past, and Rede Record was just jealous of Rede Globo's high ratings.
