Grupo Bloch, also known as Empresas Bloch, is a Brazilian media conglomerate, funded by the Ukrainian businessman Adolpho Bloch's family after their arrival in Rio de Janeiro in 1922, with the creation of Joseph Bloch & Filhos company.[1][2] The company, which published pamphlets and other printed media, also started to print magazines.[1] Thus, in 1953, the company launched the Manchete magazine.[1][3] With the successful launch of the magazine, the publishing division of Bloch Editores was established.[1]

The group owned various communication companies in the country. At the end of the 1970s , the company funded the Rádio Manchete, in medium wave (AM), and the radio network Manchete FM.[1] With the success of the radio stations, at the beginning of the 1980s, the group entered the competition of the federal government to be one of the dealers of two television networks formed from the hunting concessions of the networks Tupi and Excelsior.[4][5] Grupo Bloch was one of the bid winners, beside Grupo Silvio Santos, that immediately launched the Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão (SBT).[4] Already the Rede Manchete, owned by Grupo Bloch, had been launched in 1983.[1][3][5]

With millions in debt, the company had to sell Rede Manchete in 1992, but after the new owner, Hamilton Lucas de Oliveira, did not comply with the contract of sale, the Grupo Bloch regained ownership of the network.[1][6][7] Still contracting debts, the company had to get rid of the television business in 1999, selling concessions of five owned-and-operated stations of Manchete for the Grupo TeleTV owners, Amilcare Dallevo Jr. and Marcelo de Carvalho, which launched a new network called RedeTV! to replace Rede Manchete.[7][8][9][10][11][12]

Bloch Editores filed for bankruptcy in 1999, and was closed in 2000.[13][14][15][16] The company portfolio of magazines were sold to Manchete Editora, founded in 2002 by Mark Dvoskin.[17][18] The radio station of the Manchete FM network were sold to Grupo Sol Panamby, do politician Orestes Quércia, that turned into Nova Brasil FM network owned-and-operated station, with the exception of the station in Rio de Janeiro, which transmits the radio network Feliz FM.[19][20] The São Paulo station was later sold to the Grupo RBS, which soon after sold it to the son of former president of the republic Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Paulo Henrique Cardoso, which since 2010 broadcasts the programming of Rádio Disney in the old frequency of Manchete FM.[21][22][23][24][25] The only remaining media group company, Rádio Manchete, ended its activities at the end of 2015 , remaining in the air over the Internet through streaming media.[26] The archives of magazines and television, as well as group-owned properties were sold to pay the debts of their companies.[27][28][29]

Bloch Som e Imagem, company created to produce programs for Rede Manchete, the bankrupt estate of TV Manchete Ltda., legal name of Rede Manchete, and the concession of Radio Manchete, granted for the Rádio Federal Ltda. EPP, are still owned by the Grupo Bloch, managed by Pedro Jack Kapeller, the nephew of Adolpho Bloch and heir of his uncle's companies.[30][31][32][33]
