History

Its license was granted by Ernesto Geisel and Minister of Communications Ernesto Quandt de Oliveira on April 18, 1975. [1] The station was founded on July 28, 1978, as TV Sul Fluminense, by politician and businessman Feres Nader, and since the beginning, it was a Rede Bandeirantes affiliate. It was the first television station in the state's interior, repeating the footsteps of its sister radio station, Rádio Sul Fluminense, founded in 1944. [2] In 1999, the station started broadcasting via the Brasilsat B3 satellite, reaching all of Brazil and parts of its neighboring countries.

On January 9, 2004, TV Sul Fluminense is sold to businessman Domingo Alzugaray, owner of Editora Três, which publishes, among other magazines, IstoÉ. [3] [4] In 2007, it was sold to Grupo Bandeirantes de Comunicação, becoming Band Barra Mansa, and in 2012, Band Rio Interior.

On June 4, 2013, alleging "financial adequation", the station fired 30 of its 52 staff, including its news director, Adriano Lizarelli. Band Rio Interior's three remaining local programs (Tô na Área, Band Cidade and Entrevista Coletiva) ended, and in its place, the station started airing the programming of Band Rio full time. [5]

In 2016, to cover the lack of its own local programming, it decided to bring back Tô na Área, but only on Sundays, at 9am. In 2017, Boa Noite Interior started, an interview program about culture, business and politics, under the helm of Elias Raffide, on Saturdays, at 6:50pm. In 2018, o Tô na Área moved to Saturday mornings; on the afternoons at 1:30pm, it started airing Taí para Todos, absorbing the team of Boa Noite Interior, which was cancelled.
