Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão (SBT) is a Brazilian free-to-air television network, funded on August 19, 1981, by the businessman and TV host Silvio Santos. The network was established after a public competition of the federal government for the creation of two new television networks, created from revoked concessions of the extinct networks Tupi and Excelsior. SBT was funded in the same day that the concession agreement was signed, and that the act was broadcast live by the network, so that this was its first aired program.

Currently, SBT is the second most watched television network in Brazil, after Rede Globo. Throughout its existence, the network always occupied this space in the audience ranking, except between 2007 and 2014, when Rede Record took the post. SBT has about 8 owned and operated stations and 90 affiliated stations throughout the Brazilian territory, the network is also available through pay television operators (cable and satellite), by the free-to-air signal available in broadcast and satellite receivers, and also through streaming media in its mobile application (Android, iOS and Windows Phone), apps for smart TVs and in its website. Also on their website, the programming is available in video on demand for free, also available on the video-sharing site YouTube since 2010.

SBT broadcast in its programming a wide variety of television genres, whereas its own material generally stand adjacent to the entertainment. Foreign programming, is made up of mainly the telenovelas produced by the Mexican channel Televisa, and American TV series.
