Grupo ND

Grupo ND is a Brazilian media conglomerate headquartered in Florianópolis, in the state of Santa Catarina. The group was established on December 3, 2019, during the separation of the Santa Catarina operations formerly associated with Grupo RIC. Its business portfolio combines regional television broadcasting, radio, printed journalism, digital publishing, and media-related services. The group’s principal news identity is Jornal ND, whose initials preserve the former Notícias do Dia name. Its digital news and content platform is ND+. The television division includes the NDTV regional network and stations serving Florianópolis, Blumenau, Chapecó, Criciúma, Itajaí, and Joinville. The group also operates Record News Santa Catarina, giving it a presence in television news distribution beyond the NDTV-branded outlets. In radio, the portfolio includes Alpha FM Florianópolis, NDFM Chapecó, and NDFM Joinville. Together, these operations provide local and regional news, entertainment, music, and broadcast programming across Santa Catarina. Grupo ND’s media offer extends beyond conventional broadcasting. Jornal ND supplies printed news, while ND+ provides an internet-based publishing and content channel. The group also lists ND Sinergy and OD Drive among its other activities, although the available reference material does not provide enough detail to characterize their business models or scale. The combination of television, radio, print, and digital channels reflects a regional cross-media strategy in which local reporting and audience reach are distributed across several formats. The company is a regional rather than globally distributed media group, with its documented operations concentrated in Brazil, particularly Santa Catarina. Publicly available reference material identifies its corporate base, formation date, principal brands, and operating outlets, but does not establish detailed information about ownership, leadership, revenue, workforce, financial performance, or stock-market status. Those fields therefore remain unspecified.

Grupo ND was formed on December 3, 2019, as the Santa Catarina media operations associated with Grupo RIC began to separate into a distinct group. The new organization was headquartered in Florianópolis and retained a broad regional-media structure rather than focusing on a single distribution format. Its portfolio includes the Jornal ND newspaper, whose initials derive from Notícias do Dia, the publication’s former name. The group also operates the NDTV television network and a set of regional television stations in Florianópolis, Blumenau, Chapecó, Criciúma, Itajaí, and Joinville. Record News Santa Catarina is listed within the television portfolio, adding a news-focused outlet to the group’s broadcast presence. Radio is another component of the group. The documented stations are Alpha FM Florianópolis, NDFM Chapecó, and NDFM Joinville. These outlets complement the television and newspaper businesses by extending the group’s regional reach through audio broadcasting and locally oriented programming. Grupo ND also maintains ND+, an internet-based media and content platform. The presence of ND+ alongside Jornal ND and the broadcast outlets indicates a cross-platform approach to news and audience distribution, with the same regional media identity represented in print, television, radio, and digital channels. The group’s listed additional activities include ND Sinergy and OD Drive, but the available reference material does not describe their operations in sufficient detail. The available sources establish Grupo ND as an active regional Brazilian media conglomerate centered on Santa Catarina. They do not provide verified information about its current executives, ownership structure, financial results, public listing, major corporate transactions, campaigns, controversies, or subsequent strategic changes. No such details are added here.
