Flávio Bolsonaro's TV Globo Interview Scheduled After Electoral Program, Differing from Other Candidates

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro is set to participate in a live interview on TV Globo this Friday, August 28, at 9:30 PM. This timing places his interview after the mandatory free electoral advertising period, a schedule that differs from those of other presidential candidates.

The official start of the free electoral advertising on television today is the reason for the adjusted schedule. TV Globo is conducting interviews with the six candidates who hold the highest voting intentions. While Bolsonaro's interview is scheduled later, other candidates' interviews have also seen adjustments; for instance, Renan Santos's interview was moved earlier to avoid a conflict with sports programming.

The free electoral advertising period will continue until October 1st. It encompasses two formats: block programs broadcast nationally with rotating coverage of various offices, and commercial insertions totaling 70 minutes daily between 5 AM and midnight. This allocated time in the broadcast schedule is the primary factor for Bolsonaro's interview being moved to 9:30 PM, half an hour later than the slots used for earlier interviews this week.

Following the 8:55 PM broadcast of Jornal Nacional, the interview with the PL candidate will commence. In contrast, Renan Santos's interview was rescheduled earlier, beginning at 8:10 PM on Wednesday, August 26, to prevent clashes with sporting events, specifically two Copa do Brasil quarter-final matches broadcast at 9:30 PM that evening.
