History
editIn 1989, Pernambuco politician Inocêncio de Oliveira received the grant for the implementation of Caruaru's second television channel, which until then only had TV Pernambuco. Along with this, journalist Vicente Jorge Espíndola and engineer Luiz de França Leite began the project to implement the station, establishing the company together with Inocêncio de Oliveira.[2]
On August 1, 1991, TV Asa Branca was officially founded, broadcasting through VHF channel 8, and being the first affiliate of Rede Globo in Pernambuco, also retransmitting part of the programming of TV Globo Nordeste do Recife and carrying its signal for 108 inland municipalities, together with TV Grande Rio in Petrolina, opened on the same day. Its headquarters were initially located at the top of Morro Bom Jesus (where the 4th Military Police Battalion of Caruaru is currently located), and its commercial department in the Divinópolis neighborhood.[3]
In 1993, the station opened its first branch in Garanhuns. In 1997, the station left its headquarters in Morro Bom Jesus and moved to the Indianópolis neighborhood. In 2000, its studios and commercial department were brought together in the Pinheirópolis neighborhood, where it remains today. That same year, the station began producing local segments of NETV, which until then had been entirely retransmitted from Recife. In November 2006, the station opened another branch in Serra Talhada.[4]
On January 5, 2024, Grupo Asa Branca was mentioned in a report by Folha de S.Paulo's F5 about the creation of a new Globo affiliate in Alagoas to replace TV Gazeta de Alagoas.[5]
