History
"TV Gaúcha" was created in
1962 inPorto Alegre ,Rio Grande do Sul , and would later become "RBS TV Porto Alegre".Rede Globo was launched inRio de Janeiro three years later, but TV Gaúcha would only become its affiliate in1967 .In
1979 , it started to operate inFlorianópolis , capital city of Santa Catarina. This new purchase obliged the network to change its name to something less Rio Grande do Sul-related (as the word "Gaúcha" was), and it was rebranded "RBS TV" that same year.
