History
editThe station was founded on April 2, 1974, by Maurício Sirotsky Sobrinho, as the sixth station of the network led by TV Gaúcha in Porto Alegre. At that time, the signal coming from the capital arrived in precarious conditions, and the solution found was to transmit all local programming on videotape, which generated a delay of one day in relation to the original transmission.
Years later, these signal problems were remedied after an improvement in microwave links and later with satellite transmission. On October 1, 1983, TV Uruguaiana was renamed RBS TV Uruguaiana, with the standardization of RBS TV stations in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
Digital television

The station started its digital broadcasts on April 25, 2014, through channel 34 UHF for the city of Uruguaiana and nearby areas.[1] Until 2019, the year it stopped producing local programs, the station did not show its programming in high definition, with the exception of what was broadcast by RBS TV Porto Alegre and Globo.
Transition to digital signal
editThe station turned off its analog signal, over VHF channel 13, on July 30, 2021.[2] The station's digital signal remains on its pre-transition UHF channel 34, using PSIP to display RBS TV Uruguaiana's virtual channel as 13 on digital television receivers.
Programming
editThe broadcaster produced, until July 31, 2019, a local block of Jornal do Almoço with 20 minutes of duration, at the time presented by Elenice Vieira. On August 19, it began to relay the regional block of the newscast generated by RBS TV Santa Maria. The rest of the programming is made up of programs generated by RBS TV Porto Alegre and Globo programs.
