GNT is a Brazilian pay television channel. Originally launched as GNT: Globosat News Television, a news and information network. With the launch of GloboNews, in 1996, the GNT acronym became meaningless, and the channel was focused on documentaries and talk shows. In 2003, the channel was once again repositioned, with increased female-oriented programming, such as successful talk show Saia Justa. However, some original GNT programs remain, such as Manhattan Connection, currently the longest-running original program on Brazilian subscription television, though that program moved to GloboNews in January 2011.
