History

The station was founded on 7 September 1995 as "PLC Television Network Corporation" and from 1 October 1996 began transmitting its satellite signal by SKY PerfecTV (at the time PerfecTV). Negotiations with Globo started since September 1995, in addition to airing Globo programming, educational programming sourced from the public networks (TVE Brasil and at a later stage TV Cultura) were also carried. IPC's "Brazil Channel" was not the only channel provided by the company, as there was also an agreement with the Miami-based SUR (Sistema Unido de Retransmisión), which was carried on a separate channel with a separate subscription fee. [1]

The plan to launch the channel was impulsed by the growing market of recordings of Brazilian programs from VHS tapes sent by relatives. Nearly one year after the channel launched, it claimed 210,000 subscribers, already produced local programming and relayed Jornal da Band, in addition to Jornal Nacional. [2]

The channel was the initiative of Yoshio Muranaga, who founded the International Press newspaper in the early 90s. Muranaga's company signed a contract with Globo to broadcast its programs via subscription satellite TV. A second channel with Latin American programming was also carried. The two channels had accumulated 24,000 subscribers by June 1998, while Muranaga had earned more than US$2 million from subscriptions. [3]

In 2001, the station was renamed IPCTV and retransmitted 3 stations in 3 different channels: on channel 332, TVE Internacional; on channel 333, RecordTV Internacional and on channel 334, Globo Internacional.

In 2006, channel 333, which had a high amount of in-house productions, was the most-viewed channel of the network. [4]

As of August 2007, IPCTV was renamed as IPC World TV.

In 2010, the station was renamed IPCTV, closed the 3 channels and became affiliated only with Globo, broadcasting on channel 514 on SKY PerfecTV. In addition, the broadcaster premieres the JPTV, television news with the news of the country. JPTV was the first "PraçaTV" from outside Brazil.

On 2 December 2014, IPCTV became a mere repeater of TV Globo International, and has no more local programming. The "JPTV", until then only program produced by the broadcaster, is replaced by SPTV 1st Edition, produced by TV Globo São Paulo.

On 31 March 2019, IPCTV was officially closed due to Globo's termination for indefinite period.
