History
The municipality of Montes Claros started receiving its first television signals in 1970, when citizens were able to follow the matches of the 1970 FIFA World Cup from microwave relays of television stations from Belo Horizonte. Since then, the city's mayor, Toninho Rebello, nurtured the dream of setting up a local broadcaster, and to this end, he formed a partnership with Elias Siufi, then director of Rádio Sociedade (today Super RBV Montes Claros), as well as businessmen Raimundo Tourinho, Geraldo Borges, José Corrêa Machado and João Bosco Martins de Abreu, for a public competition.[1]
