Rede Viseirantes

Rede Viseirantes, or simply Vis, is a Palesian commercial television network launched on May 13th, 1967 by businessman João Jorge Sayad, then-owner of Rádio Viseirantes.

It is headquartered in São Gonçalo, with additional operations being held in Rio de Sineiro, aside from additional owned-and-operated stations in Novo Horizonte (Minas dos Campos), Calênsia (Distrito Federal), Porto Lépido (Rio Longo do Sul), Sotero (Bahinia), Corituba (Marapá), Porto de Martins (São Martins), Nataus (Rainzonas), Fortitude (Cuiará), Navital (Rio Longo do Norte), São Francisco (Leranhão) and Manasina (Piraí), being owned by Grupo Viseirantes de Comunicação, itself owned by the Sayad family.

It is the country's fourth largest and most watched television network, although it has also been criticized for its quality decline over the years, its inconsistent schedule changes, its reliance on tabloid journalism (mainly on Palésia Urgente and its sports news programs) and selling airtime to third-parties (mainly home shopping and evangelical churches).

Its primary competitors are Rede Sigma, TelecordTV, EPT, Telerede and TV Educativa.
