History

edit

The station was founded on October 10, 1989, by Walter de Sá Cavalcante, owner of Grupo Sá Cavalcante, the largest business group in the state of Espírito Santo, which is responsible for 4 shopping malls in the Metropolitan Region of Vitória, the Bob's and Spoleto franchises in Espírito Santo, in addition to several other construction projects across the country. Since its creation, the station has maintained its affiliation with Rede Bandeirantes.[1]

The station was initially granted a UHF license from the government, to contest the situation, Rui Barromeu held talks with the communications minister in Brasília and demanded the license to be relocated to VHF channel 10.[1]

As of 2019, TV Capixaba produced 16 local programs.[2] The news operation ended in December 2019, raising concerns about the future of its license.[3]
