During the 1980s, the SBT established itself, contracting popular hosts and airing a mix of its own and Televisa programming (especially Mexican "telenovelas" and comedy shows such as "El Chavo del Ocho" and "El Chapulín Colorado"). It climbed to second place in the Brazilian ratings (except in Rio de Janeiro, where Rede Manchete occupied that position). Moreover, it hosted the Brazilian version of "Bozo" for kids plus even let ex-Tupi program presenters bring their shows over to the fledgling network.
