History

edit

Before the end of 1991, TV Imperial was installed in record time, between concession and operation it took just 50 days, until then the other channels took an average of 18 months to enter into experimental operation. With its own headquarters and equipment, TV Imperial began airing on VHF channel 6 as an affiliate of Rede Record, one of the first in the early days of the Macedo administration.[2][3]

In 2010, the broadcaster obtained four new concessions to expand and retransmit signals to the interior, in the months of February, September, October and November, during the election period.[4]

In December 2012, the station carried out the Imperial Solidário project.[5]

In November 2020, TV Imperial was acquired by businessman André Felipe de Brito Pereira Costa.[6][7]

On July 11, 2024, the Jucá family, represented by businesswoman Rosilene Brito, wife of former senator Romero Jucá, formed Grupo Égia de Comunicação, integrating TV Imperial, Rádio 93 FM and the Roraima em Tempo web portal. Rosilene Brito took the role of director-general of the group.[8][9][10][11]
