History
The license for VHF channel 4 in Franca was granted by president Ernesto Geisel on November 10, 1975, to a company led by businessman Agostinho Galgani, owner of Rádio Imperador, founded in 1971. TV Imperador was inaugurated on July 7, 1979, holiday of the 1932 Constitutionalist Revolution, at 5pm. Initially, it had a line-up consisting of local programs and relays from TV Record from the state capital.On June 23, 1981, the station was sold to the owners of TV Record, Paulo Machado de Carvalho and Silvio Santos, being another phase of the expansion of the Record network in the state. In that decade, the station inaugurated its headquarters at Jardim Redentor, in 1982, and the implementation of an office in Ribeirão Preto, created in 1984, which was replaced years later by a larger facility, at the Sumarezinho neighborhood. In 1989, it was acquired by businessman and bishop of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, Edir Macedo, and, with the creation of a national Record network in 1990, it was renamed TV Record Franca/Ribeirão Preto.
On August 29, 2010, the station inaugurated an office with commercial, marketing and news departments in the city of São Carlos. On April 12, 2011, it was the turn for the Ribeirão Preto office to move to new premises, erected in the same location as the former one, with 3000 m² and a wide newsroom, where the station's news operation was now being produced. In 2014, its nomenclature became TV Record Interior, then with the 2016 rebrand, RecordTV Interior SP, and with the 2023 rebrand, Record Interior SP.
