History

TV Bandeirantes was founded on May 13, 1967, by João Jorge Saad, owner of Rádio Bandeirantes. In 1969 the TV's building suffered a massive fire, which forced Saad to renew his broadcasting equipment. By 1972, TV Bandeirantes was the first Brazilian television to fully broadcast in color. Later in the 70s Bandeirantes became a national broadcasting network. The network launched a digital over-the-air feed in São Paulo.
