Record Rio Preto (channel 7) is a Brazilian television station located in São José do Rio Preto, as a Record affiliate for 198 municipalities in northern, north-western and western São Paulo.[1]

History

[edit]

The station opened on September 15, 1971, as a Rede Tupi affiliate associated with TV Record from the state capital. It was owned by businessman Edson Garcia Nunes and its schedule consisted mainly of films and TV series.[2] In 1973, the station was acquired by Catanduva businessman Varlei Agudo Romão and started carrying sporting events, usually soccer matches from local teams América and Rio Preto, as well as children's tournaments.[3] During its early years, Ana Maria Braga started her television career presenting its news program Jornal de Verdade.[4] At the end of 1978, the station was de facto independent, alongside TV Record.[5] Other key local programs from its independent phase included Amaury Júnior na TV, Programa Silveira Lima, Sala dos Esportes and A Porteira do 8, which survived the 1989 buying.[3]

In 1989, Edir Macedo bought the Record stations in São Paulo to build a national network. The TV Rio Preto archives were destroyed.[3] As a Record O&O, this time as part of a national instead of regional network, its directorate changed in 1998, prioritizing local productions.[6]
