TV Jornal do Brasil (better known as TV JB) was a Brazilian television network founded in Rio de Janeiro on April 17, 2007 by businessman Nelson Tanure, owner of Companhia Brasileira de Multimídia (CBM), initially broadcast through a partnership with Flávio Martinez of CNT. The partnership lasted until September 5, when, by court decision, the network had its signal cut due to lack of payment, combined with an internal crisis. On September 10, it returned to air through Rede Brasil, which lasted just one week. The channel closed on September 17, 2007.

Initially, TV JB broadcast six hours a day of its own production, from 6pm to midnight. The channel had headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo (at Gugu Produções) and in Brasília (at the news branch of Grupo CBM). The name was inspired by the newspaper of the same name, owned by the same group.
