Brazil’s TV Globo said the presenter Eliana will anchor a new weekly programme on its weekend grid beginning in 2026. The project is in development, the network said on 3 July, without detailing format or time slot. Eliana signed a three-year exclusive contract with Globo in June 2024 that envisaged a dedicated show within 12 months; scheduling conflicts and existing Sunday advertising commitments are understood to have pushed the launch beyond the original target. The announcement was released hours after Globo disclosed it had secured close to R$60 million (US$11 million) in advertising for the prime-time culinary reality “Chef de Alto Nível”, hosted by Ana Maria Braga and set to premiere on 15 July. Friboi, Outback and Brastemp each paid about R$19.6 million for sponsorship packages, with additional deals still under negotiation. The reality show is fully recorded and will be promoted across the company’s broadcast, streaming and pay-TV platforms.
