Túlio Amâncio Leaves Globo, Joins SBT News

Túlio Amâncio, who had been hired by GloboNews in January to cover politics on the programs Conexão, Estúdio I, and GloboNews Mais, resigned on August 31, two months after being demoted to a local news reporter in Brasília.

Why the Shift is Trending Now

The fact that a political reporter who previously worked at Band, Globo and Record affiliates, left the country's most important broadcaster and moved to SBT News has drawn the attention of media professionals and the public, who follow the competition for experienced journalists covering Brasília.

What Changed in Amâncio's Space at Globo

According to reports, Amâncio's reports caused discomfort among prominent figures at Globo, resulting in a “promotion” that, in practice, reduced his space and visibility within the network. The move to local news programs in Brasília displeased the reporter, leading him to resign.

The New Role at SBT News

At SBT, Amâncio will take on the role of political commentator for the news channel and may appear on news programs such as SBT Brasil, hosted by César Filho. He may also be called upon to cover events in Brasília, strengthening the channel's team of analysts.

SBT's Hiring Context

The hiring is part of SBT News' recent investment in figures with a background in political coverage, at a time of strong competition among news channels for experienced journalists in the federal capital.

Amâncio's Profile Before Globo

Amâncio began his career at broadcasters in Uberlândia, went through TV Paranaíba (a Record affiliate), and worked at Jovem Pan and Grupo Bandeirantes, where he excelled in covering political backstage. In 2026, he joined the Grupo Globo team in Brasília, covering highly impactful events.

What the Move Means for the Journalism Market

Amâncio's case illustrates a common pattern in the market: a professional whose work causes internal discomfort ends up being reallocated to less prominent roles. For SBT News, hiring a journalist with this recent history can mean an immediate boost in visibility, especially amidst the electoral period.
