History

The license for VHF channel 8 in Cabo Frio was granted, after public competition, by president José Sarney on July 22, 1988, to a company formed by businessmen Cleófas Uchoa, Jacques-Louis Mercier and Mário Campos da Silveira (both excutivos with connections to Embratel in the president's government), alongside the then secretary-general of the Ministry of Communications, Rômulo Villar Furtado, and then-federal deputee Arolde de Oliveira.[1][2] After one month in test phase, TV Lagos opened on September 30, 1989, at noon, airing a documentary on its founding, followed by Rede Globo's regular programming, achieving its second affiliate in the state's inland region.[3]

Its studios were initially located in the neighboring city of São Pedro da Aldeia, located in the Vinhateiro neighborhood, in the central region of Cabo Frio. Initially it largely relayed the signal of TV Globo Rio de Janeiro, only producing a local edition of RJTV's second edition, as well as the news bulletin Lagos Notícia, shown throughout the schedule.
