In addition to being known for his talk shows, Silvio Santos had a special connection with young audiences and children. He believed that television played a crucial role in the education and entertainment of children. One of his most memorable phrases reflects this concern:
“SBT will not stop showing cartoons, no. I don't care if I'm losing money in the mornings because for me showing cartoons is an obligation to the children. SBT is not just here to make money, there are other things involved.”
It is worth remembering that animes known to many gained prominence on the channel, including: Dragon Ball, Fly, The Little Warrior, Guerreiras Mágicas de Rayearth, Street Fighter II V, among others.
Therefore, this commitment to children's content shows the human side of Silvio Santos, who always thought beyond profit, prioritizing the well-being of future generations. The presenter's legacy, especially with regard to children's programming, will be forever remembered and respected. Ultimately, he leaves a huge gap on Brazilian TV, but also an example of dedication and love for what he did. May he rest in peace.
