History
TV Cultura (1982–1983)
The first step towards founding the first television station in Chapecó was taken in 1976, when businessman Mário Petrelli won the public tender for the concession of channel 12 VHF. Petrelli invested around US$1 million in equipment and structure for the new station, which would initially be affiliated with Rede Tupi, just like TV Cultura in Florianópolis. However, Rede Tupi's concession was revoked in 1980, still during its implementation, and the businessman signed with the newly opened SBT. TV Cultura was founded on April 23, 1982, and at the ceremony, one of those present was Nelson Sirotsky, who would be one of the buyers of the new station a few months after its foundation. Among the first TV employees were Jairo Lisowski and reporter Mônica Corrêa.The RBS Group was booming in Santa Catarina, and in September of the same year it acquired Mário Petrelli's TV Cultura. With the purchase, the station becomes affiliated with Rede Globo and also integrates RBS TV, which in the state already had stations in Florianópolis, Joinville and Blumenau.
RBS TV Chapecó (1983–2017)
In April 1983, it was renamed RBS TV Chapecó, adopting the standardization of other stations on the network. Over the course of the decade, the station expands its signal to the entire west of Santa Catarina, through microwave relays that are still used today.On March 7, 2016, Grupo RBS announces the sale of the station and other operations in Santa Catarina to entrepreneurs Lírio Parisotto and Carlos Sanchez.
