History


Channel 12 VHF in Belo Horizonte was initially occupied by TV Belo Horizonte, opened in 1963 by Rede das Emissoras Unidas, belonging to João Batista do Amaral, known as "Pipa". In 1967, with the bankruptcy his other station, TV Rio, was facing, Pipa sold the station's concession to Organizações Globo, and on February 5, 1968, TV Globo Minas was inaugurated, Rede Globo's fourth O&O, which began to take shape that same year, through integrated programming with stations from Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Bauru.
Its studios initially operated in a small three-story building located at Rua Rio de Janeiro, 1279, in the city center, while its transmitters, inherited from the old broadcaster, were at the top of Serra do Curral. Microwave relays had also been installed in the municipalities of Conselheiro Lafaiete and Juiz de Fora, which also formed a bridge with the network's headquarters in Rio, before Embratel's transmission trunks existed.
Over the years, TV Globo Minas expanded its signals to other municipalities in the state, until the emergence of new Globo affiliates, which continued to retransmit part of its local programming. Currently, the station's signal reaches 166 municipalities in Greater Belo Horizonte and parts of Zona da Mata and Oeste de Minas. In July 1995, the broadcaster opened its new studio complex in the Caiçara neighborhood, with 6,600 m2, which replaced the facilities that the broadcaster maintained in Centro and Savassi, where its commercial offices operated.
