History
TV Globo had a plan for a youth network to compete with MTV Brasil, with TV Asa Branca opting for a license to operate the new station. Up until then, TV Asa Branca was the only locally-generated TV station in Caruaru. The network never materialized, and the only other option was to set up a new station, becoming an SBT affiliate. TVI was created in place of the youth channel, and started broadcasting on May 1, 2004. Overall, it became the 110th affiliate of the network. Using SBT's four daily hours allocated to local programming, the station started with one-minute news updates followed by a main newscast and the noontime TVI Meio-Dia.In March 2006, Rede Nordeste de Comunicação opted to sell TVI to Grupo JCPM, owner of TV Jornal, the extant SBT affiliate in Recife. Consequently, the station was renamed TV Jornal Caruaru.
On December 13, 2018, four days before analog signals were switched off in Caruaru, JCPM's new inland offices were inaugurated; in tandem, the station was renamed TV Jornal Interior, converted the operation to high definition and improved the signal of over 60 relayers.
