Overview
InterTV Planície is a Brazilian broadcast television station licensed to Campos dos Goytacazes in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It operates on channel 8 and is part of Rede InterTV, a regional television group whose stations are affiliated with TV Globo. Its current service area is concentrated in Campos dos Goytacazes and selected neighboring municipalities, including São João da Barra, São Francisco de Itabapoana and Quissamã. The station originated with a VHF channel 8 license awarded after a public competition on September 21, 1988. The authorization was granted by President José Sarney to a company formed by Carlos Cardoso Tinoco, Domingos de Almeida Frias and Antônio Leonides Salles. Broadcasting began on April 4, 1989, under the name TV Planície. At launch, the station was affiliated with SBT and became the second television station in Campos dos Goytacazes, following TV Norte Fluminense. TV Planície developed local programming during its SBT period. Its output included TJ Planície, modeled on the format of SBT's TJ Brasil, as well as Mistura Fina na TV, a youth-oriented variety program associated with the Folha da Manhã newspaper and presented by Fernandinho Gomes. In 1996, Grupo Folha de Comunicação, publisher of Folha da Manhã, acquired half of the station's shares. During that period, the station opened new facilities in the Edifício Ninho das Águias on Praça São Salvador in central Campos dos Goytacazes. A major ownership and network change occurred in 2004. In August, the Tinoco family sold its interest to businessman Fernando Aboudib Camargo, who had recently established Rede InterTV as a group of TV Globo-affiliated stations. In October, TV Planície left SBT and joined Rede InterTV, becoming the network's fourth station in Rio de Janeiro state and adopting the InterTV Planície name. The change restored a direct Globo affiliate presence in the region after TV Norte Fluminense had ended its Globo affiliation in 1995. During the interim, viewers received Globo programming through relay arrangements involving stations from Nova Friburgo and São Pedro da Aldeia. Local production was reduced in January 2005, when the station stopped producing its own local programs and relayed news output produced by InterTV Alto Litoral for its coverage area. The station later expanded its facilities and news capabilities. On November 5, 2009, its studios and departments moved to a new headquarters at Parque Rodoviário near the BR-101 highway. In October 2011, local programming was reactivated, and an office with a reporting team opened in Itaperuna to coordinate coverage in northwestern Rio de Janeiro state. That office closed in February 2012. InterTV Planície began digital transmission on UHF channel 36 on November 11, 2011. Its principal locally produced program is RJ InterTV 2ª edição, which premiered on December 22, 2011 and has been presented by several journalists, including Luiz Gonzaga Neto, Narayanna Borges, Keila Mendes, Fernanda Corrêa, Valéria Vieira and Andresa Alcoforado. The program is currently presented by João Villa Real according to the referenced station history. The station began producing local programming in high definition on March 14, 2016. The station's coverage changed on April 1, 2017, when its northwestern Rio de Janeiro relay stations were transferred to InterTV Serra+Mar. Since then, InterTV Planície's terrestrial reach has been focused on Campos dos Goytacazes and a smaller group of municipalities in the northern part of the state. Its schedule combines the locally produced RJ InterTV newscast with programming generated by InterTV Alto Litoral in Cabo Frio and TV Globo's national network lineup.
History
The channel 8 license serving Campos dos Goytacazes was awarded after a public competition on September 21, 1988, to a company established by Carlos Cardoso Tinoco, Domingos de Almeida Frias and Antônio Leonides Salles. The resulting station, TV Planície, began broadcasting on April 4, 1989, as an SBT affiliate. It was the municipality's second television station after TV Norte Fluminense. TV Planície initially combined SBT network programming with locally produced content. Its programming included TJ Planície, a local newscast influenced by the TJ Brasil format, and Mistura Fina na TV, a youth-oriented variety program linked to the Folha da Manhã newspaper. In 1996, Grupo Folha de Comunicação acquired half of the station's shares. The station also inaugurated facilities in the Edifício Ninho das Águias on Praça São Salvador in central Campos dos Goytacazes. Ownership changed substantially in 2004. In August, the Tinoco family sold its shares to Fernando Aboudib Camargo, the owner of the newly created Rede InterTV. In October, the station ended its SBT affiliation and joined the InterTV group, becoming InterTV Planície and the group's fourth station in Rio de Janeiro state. The affiliation brought TV Globo back to the region through a direct local station after TV Norte Fluminense had left the network in 1995. Before the change, Globo programming had reached the area through relay arrangements involving TV Serra+Mar and TV Alto Litoral. In January 2005, InterTV Planície ended its local programming and mainly relayed news produced by InterTV Alto Litoral. The station moved its studios and departments to a new facility at Parque Rodoviário, near the BR-101, on November 5, 2009. Local production was reactivated in October 2011, alongside the opening of an Itaperuna reporting office intended to coordinate northwestern regional coverage. The office closed in February 2012. The station launched digital broadcasting on UHF channel 36 on November 11, 2011. On December 22 of the same year, it premiered RJ InterTV 2ª edição, which became its main locally produced news program. Local production moved to high definition on March 14, 2016. In 2017, the station's coverage footprint was reduced when relay stations in northwestern Rio de Janeiro were transferred to InterTV Serra+Mar. Its remaining terrestrial service centers on Campos dos Goytacazes, São João da Barra, São Francisco de Itabapoana and Quissamã. The station's schedule consists principally of RJ InterTV 2ª edição, programming generated by InterTV Alto Litoral in Cabo Frio, and TV Globo's national programming.
