As a Record O&O (since 1993)
In 1991, with the beginning of Rede Record's expansion, TV Capital was one of the first stations to be acquired by Grupo Record, in a transaction that also involved Rádio Capital. After the purchase, the station changed its name, becoming TV Record Brasília on March 18, 1993.[6] In the same year, the television news program Informe Brasília debuted, which in 2003 was renamed Informe DF. In 1997, the station opened its own headquarters in the South Radio and Television Sector, leaving the obsolete facilities of the TV Tower.
On April 3, 2006, the DF Record news program debuted, adopting the new standard brand for Record's local news programs. On January 15, 2007, the local version of Balanço Geral premiered, presented by Henrique Chaves, replacing Fala Brasília. On February 18, 2008, the station was renamed TV Record Centro-Oeste. On this day, the station's new newsroom was inaugurated, from where its news programs began to be broadcast, as well as programs from the Record News news channel, such as Brasília Ao Vivo and Record News Centro-Oeste. On February 20, 2008, the news program DF no Ar debuted, initially presented by Luiz Fara Monteiro.
In August 2008, Record Centro-Oeste won the Engenho de Jornalismo award in four categories. In August 2009, Luiz Cláudio Costa, former director of TV Record RS and Correio do Povo, took over as director of Record Centro-Oeste, and Natal Furucho, former director of the station in Brasília, assumed command of Grupo Record in Rio Grande do Sul.[7]
In February 2011, the station was renamed TV Record Brasília. On April 28, 2014, Balanço Geral Manhã debuted on the broadcaster's programming schedule, presented by Bruno José. On May 8, 2015, the local edition of Balanço Geral Manhã left the broadcaster's programming schedule to make way for the national broadcast of the program presented by Luiz Bacci. On May 11, the section "Hora da Venenosa" debuts on Balanço Geral, which shows news from the world of celebrities presented by Sabrina Albert. In October 2015, Record Brasília and the presenter of DF no Ar, Giuliano Cartaxo, were condemned for showing a report considered abusive.[8]
As part of a reformulation of its schedule to increase its audience ratings, the channel announced on August 25, 2016, the hiring of presenter Marcão do Povo, coming from TV Goiânia to present Balanço Geral DF.[9][10] Its debut took place on September 26,[11] and Henrique Chaves, who presented Balanço Geral DF, was removed so he could take on the project of the local edition of Cidade Alerta, which debuted on October 24.[12][13] With the changes, Record Brasília is able to increase its audience ratings at lunchtime, achieving leadership in the slot.[14][15]
On November 24, 2016, with the reformulation of the network's brand, the station was renamed RecordTV Brasília.[16] In December 2016, an employee from the station's operations department was fired after recording a video criticizing the channel's new microphone flag.[17]
