The journalist also extended his criticism to the house’s drama department. “It’s just a rerun! The soap opera that has just been rerun will soon be rerun again. [Nas tramas bíblicas] everything always stays the same, it always seems to be the same story. Even the scenery seems to be always the same, as are the actors.”
For him, Record still needs to recover its vision that it is not a state broadcaster, but a commercial one. “It gives the impression that it’s a broadcaster that has stopped time. It looks like a broadcaster like TV Cultura, which has no advertisers, doesn’t need to worry about competition. Everything at Record seems to be done to discourage viewers.”
SBT and Record forget that artists like Chiquinho also have bills to pay, says Leão Lobo
Comedian Edílson Oliveira, 59, gave an exclusive interview to Kerline Cardoso, 32, on the TV channel Splash. He recalled his time as Chiquinho, Eliana’s assistant in her children’s programs, and said that the blonde left SBT after being denied a salary increase by Silvio Santos, 93.
Leão Lobo, host of Splash Show, stated that he noticed a certain dissatisfaction on the part of Edílson with the TV channels he worked for. “I know he has a little regret at not having been taken advantage of – neither by Record nor by SBT – after this phase in which he was very successful with Eliana’s audience. I feel that he resents having been left out after having contributed for Eliana and Gugu’s success.”
