On July 29, 2026, the grand opening of TL TV (Timeline TV / TL TV Livre)—the first Brazilian open-channel television station in the United States—took place in Orlando, Florida. The celebratory event was held at BoiBrazil steakhouse on International Drive, where the Brazilian community gathered for an evening of traditional rodízio dining, conversation, and recognition of a major milestone in independent journalism.
The atmosphere combined the warmth of Brazilian hospitality with a strong sense of achievement. Under the flags of Brazil, the United States, and Florida, attendees marked the start of 24-hour open-air broadcasting available to anyone in Central Florida with an antenna.

Key figures present included:
- Allan dos Santos, the driving force behind Timeline and the realization of this long-held vision of a free television platform after earlier efforts with Terça Livre faced significant obstacles in Brazil.
- Eduardo Bolsonaro, who traveled to Orlando to join the inauguration and highlighted the event as a practical demonstration of resilience and the defense of free expression.
- Alexandre Ramagem (Ramagem), former director of Brazil’s intelligence agency and a longtime ally in conservative circles, who was also present to support the launch.
Their attendance underscored the broader significance of the occasion: a community of voices committed to independent media building something lasting outside previous constraints. The gathering at BoiBrazil turned the launch into both a professional milestone and a communal celebration of perseverance.
TL TV represents more than a new channel. It is the product of sustained effort by sponsors, supporters, and founders who refused to abandon the goal of uncensored information and programming for Brazilians in the United States and beyond. With the signal now live, the project moves from aspiration to daily reality.
Congratulations to Allan dos Santos, Eduardo Bolsonaro, Alexandre Ramagem, the Timeline team, and everyone who helped make this possible. The opening at BoiBrazil marked a proud moment for free speech and for the Brazilian diaspora in Florida. Nós venceremos.
