CNN Brasil is a Brazilian news-based pay television channel and news website. Launched on 15 March 2020, CNN Brasil is owned by Novus Media, a joint-venture between Douglas Tavolaro, former header of Record's news division, and Rubens Menin, owner of MRV Engenharia. Novus Media has a licensing agreement with original CNN channel owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.[1][2] CNN Brasil is the second local franchise of CNN in South America, after CNN Chile.

Its headquarters are in São Paulo,[3] with offices in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília, besides international bureaus with almost 400 journalists.[4] Previously, in 2017, the channel did a partnership with RedeTV! and Simba Content, formed by SBT and Record, which had no success.[5]

Programs are aired 24 hours daily via digital terrestrial TV networks, pay TV providers in Brazil; and live streaming services for overseas viewers.
