The Times | CNBC announces that it has entered into a new strategic partnership with AFP (Agence France-Presse). Last week, Brazil’s new news broadcaster had already signed an agreement with Reuters, the largest news agency in the world.
CNBC in Brazil will show on air, for free and for the first time to Brazilians, exclusive content from CNBC Internacional, which has been broadcast in 80 countries for 35 years. Now, in addition to Reuters, it will also broadcast content from AFP, the only news agency in Europe and one of the three largest in the world.

The partnership with AFP will allow CNBC in Brazil to have access to all videos, image files, texts and graphics from the renowned international news agency. This unique content will strengthen the channel’s programming, offering viewers a comprehensive, real-time view of key developments in the business world.
Douglas Tavolaro, founder and CEO of Times Brasil | CNBC celebrated the new alliance and highlighted its importance for the channel: “The partnership with AFP increases the quality and depth of CNBC content in Brazil. We will have access to reliable, global sources, which allows us to deliver news accurately and quickly, consolidating our position as the main business news channel in Brazil.”
Launched in the country in partnership with NBCUniversal, one of the largest media companies in the world, CNBC in Brazil will begin its programming in November.
