The 4th Panel of the Federal Court of the 3rd Region decided to revoke the concession of channel 32, which was used by TV Loading and was being sought by broadcaster Jovem Pan. With the decision, according to the website Notícias da TV, the radio broadcaster will have to postpone its plans to launch a TV channel in the second half of this year.
According to the website, the TRF-3 maintained the sentence it took in August last year, when it accepted a public civil action from the Federal Public Ministry.

The MP saw irregularities in the sale of the channel, made by Grupo Abril to Spring Comunicação, in 2013. The public civil action has been ongoing since 2015 and, in the first instance, the Court accepted the action in 2020, but Spring appealed the decision.
With the decision, the concession of channels operated by Spring Televisão S/A, owner of Loading, is annulled, frequencies that would be taken over by Jovem Pan to host its future TV station
The court understood that the sale of the old MTV to the company that launched Loading was carried out without the participation of the Union, which is illegal.
According to the news, any public television concession needs approval from the National Congress, with sanction from the federal government. The TRF-3 sentenced the companies and the Union to pay collective moral damages of 10% of the value of the transmission, which was negotiated for R$290 million — the fine, therefore, is R$29 million.
TRF-3 also determined that the Union must re-tender the service through the Ministry of Communications. Last year, after the initial decision, Abril, which owned MTV, filed a motion to request a review of the decision.
According to Abril, as a public civil action conviction has immediate effect, the channel would have to go off the air immediately, which would prevent it from defending itself and would cause irreparable damage. Now, however, the court ended up undoing the deal.
