Canção Nova

What Canção Nova does

Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova is a Brazilian Catholic Charismatic renewal community and multi-platform religious media organization founded in 1982 by Monsenhor Jonas Abib in Cachoeira Paulista, S\u00e3o Paulo, and administered through Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Paulo II. Its core products are the central web portal (cancaonova.com) and its sub-domains for TV Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova, R\u00e1dio Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova (including the acquired R\u00e1dio Am\u00e9rica S\u00e3o Paulo), Forma\u00e7\u00e3o (formation), Eventos (encampments, Kair\u00f3s retreats, Thursday Adoration), Liturgia, Blog, Kids, and Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova Play on YouTube, plus CNPlus as a premium subscription tier. The underlying technology is a WordPress-based multi-site portal ecosystem with a proprietary in-house WEBtvCN video player, a unified design system, and a rotating-highlights CMS built and maintained by an internal 'Equipe de desenvolvimento TI' (size unspecified).

The business model blends recurring member donations, one-time contributions, e-commerce sales of Catholic books, Bibles and religious merchandise (R$12.51-R$71.91 unit pricing via Loja, Atacado wholesale and Porta a Porta door-to-door), ticketed live events and lodging (Pousada S\u00e9rgio Abib) sold through Sympla, sale of blessed bottled water (\u00c1gua Can\u00e7\u00e3o Nova), and online courses via Hotmart. Clube da Evangeliza\u00e7\u00e7\u00e3o is the recurring-donation core, with monthly tiers of R$20, R$60, R$80 or custom values (minimum R$20) processed through a PCI-compliant portal at secure.cancaonova.com accepting Visa, MasterCard, Hiper, Hipercard, Elo, American Express, Diners, bank slip, automatic debit, and PIX ([email protected]).

The customer base is overwhelmingly Brazilian Catholic individuals and families ('S\u00e7ocios Evangelizadores' membership program), with secondary reach into Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, and Paraguayan audiences through dedicated international portals (cancaonova.pt, Canci\u00f3n Nueva, cnmedia.fr, comunitacantonuovo.it, Paraguay, Terra Santa). Headcount is approximately 126, anchored to the Cachoeira Paulista headquarters which houses the Santu\u00e1rio do Pai das Miseric\u00f3rdias, broadcast studios, pousada, camping grounds, and a dedicated call center (12) 3186-2600 for member relations.

Emerging players

• Word on Fire Catholic Ministries: US Catholic digital media and publishing ministry run by Bishop Robert Barron, scaling aggressively on YouTube, social video, and donor subscriptions. Comparable as a digitally-native Catholic media competitor encroaching on traditional broadcasters.
• Shalom Catholic Community: Brazilian Catholic charismatic community with multimedia presence, formation programs, and event-driven evangelization. Compares as a peer Brazilian Catholic community competing for the same members and content attention.

Direct peers

• Salt + Light Catholic Media Foundation: Canadian Catholic broadcaster operating TV, radio, and digital platforms with event coverage and donor-funded operations. Closely mirrors Canção Nova's donation-supported Catholic media model.
• EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network): Global Catholic television and radio network combining broadcast media, publishing, news, and education. Directly comparable to Canção Nova as a multi-platform Catholic media operation sustaining itself through donations.
• Rede Vida de Televisão: Catholic Brazilian broadcast network (TV and Radio) producing religious programming nationwide. Operates a similar Catholic-media-and-events model centered on donations and member support.
• TV Aparecida: Brazilian Catholic television network operated by the Basilica of Our Lady of Aparecida. Competes for the same Brazilian Catholic broadcast audience and ad/donation support that Canção Nova targets.
• KTO (Télévision Catholique): French Catholic television operator producing formation, liturgy, and event-based programming. Comparable as a non-Anglophone Catholic broadcaster with strong event and digital content ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN): Large Christian broadcaster with global TV, on-demand, and event properties. Adjacent rather than directly comparable (interdenominational/Protestant-leaning), but mirrors the broadcast-plus-events-plus-donations economic model.
• CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network): US-based Christian broadcaster combining TV, radio, digital content, and donor-supported formation. Broader incumbent analog to Canção Nova's donor-driven Catholic media structure.

Others

• Paulinas Livraria e Editora: Brazilian Catholic publishing house and book retailer distributing Bibles, devotionals, and formation materials through retail, wholesale, and door-to-door. Comparable as a Catholic content/book distribution counterpart to Canção Nova's Loja and Porta a Porta operations.
