History

TV Subaé also had the sister radio stations the Subaé AM and Nordeste FM, which formed, together with the TV station and the journal Jornal Feira Hoje, the subsidiary Rede Baiana de Comunicação (also called RBC), owned by Grupo MC.[4] The inauguration was attended by several authorities, including the then mayor José Falcão da Silva and the then governor João Durval Carneiro.[5]
