History

edit

The station received its construction permit in 1966 to broadcast on VHF channel 2 with an effective radiated power of 1 kilowatt.[1]

TV Erexim was founded on April 30, 1972, by Maurício Sirotsky Sobrinho, being the third television station of Grupo RBS. On October 1, 1983, TV Erexim, along with other RBS TV stations in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina, was renamed RBS TV Erechim.

The station inaugurated its digital signal on May 8, 2014, on channel 33 UHF.[2][3][4]

Transition to digital signal

edit

The station planned to shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 3, on December 31, 2023,[5] as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal remains on its pre-transition UHF channel 33, using PSIP to display RBS TV Erechim's virtual channel as 2 on digital television receivers. But the transition was delayed indefinetly.

Programming

On August 16, 2019, the local block of Jornal do Almoço was extinguished and on August 19, the station began to relay the regional edition of the news program generated by RBS TV Passo Fundo.
