With a rich collection that tells a little of the history of television drama and Brazilian television, Rede Manchete’s brand and more than 25 thousand tapes of the channel, bankrupt since 1999, were sold for R$ 500.5 thousand in an online auction.
Held last Thursday (14), the finishing was done at an auction by Faro Leilões, which did not disclose the name of the buyer. According to information from the newspaper Estadão, the dispute was divided into three lots: the station’s brand; the archive of soap operas and miniseries tapes; another archive with journalistic and children’s programs.

Initially, the archive of soap operas was valued at R$3 million, but it was auctioned for R$240,000; the Manchete brand, initially valued at R$124.1 thousand, was sold for R$200.5 thousand. The program file, valued at R$ 626 thousand, was sold for only R$ 60 thousand.
This was not the first time that the station’s collection was auctioned, since in May an attempt to finish off the notices was brought to the public, with a value of R$ 3.8 million, but legal problems surrounding the copyright of the productions and the condition of the tapes, in poor condition, left buyers uninterested.
With an estimated liability of R$ 115.7 million, Manchete ceased to exist in 1999 and, since 2002, it has had a lawsuit from creditors against the bankrupt estate of the company.
