In addition to their own schedule, Manchete is known as airing Japanese programmes like tokusatsu and anime, including some of the Super Sentai series (Choushinsei Flashman, Dengeki Sentai Changeman), Sailor Moon, Kamen Rider Black, Black RX, MegaBeast Investigator Juspion and Saint Seiya.

In May 1999, the partners Amilcare Dallevo and Marcelo de Carvalho (known as TeleTV Group) bought the licenses of Manchete, moved the headquarters to Barueri, and changed the network's name to RedeTV!.

Initially planned to launch between September and November 1982,[3] and then March 1983,[5] Manchete began operations at 7:00 pm on 5 June 1983[6] with a speech by Bloch, followed by a segment with the network's logo flying over Brazil and then stopping on a building.

[7] The network received high ratings in Rio de Janeiro, and as a result, it suddenly moved to second place in viewership in that area.

In 1984, model and actress Xuxa presented the Clube da Criança program in 1984, beating sometimes TV Globo's morning show, Balão Magico.

The plot centered around a son of a big farmer of Mato Grosso that came to know his father for the first time, and also Juma, a wild lady that lives in a forest cabin and transforms herself in a jaguar when she's angry, with which he falls in love.

[15] The network was to be sold to Reborn in Christ Church in January 1999, but in February of the same year, the proposal was withdrawn due to a breach of contractual clauses.

When Jornal da Manchete first premiered, it had an excessive duration of two hours (with commercials), and was divided into several segments that would eventually become separate programmes.
