EPTV Central started the tests to implantation of its digital signal in February 2009, over UHF channel 42, and only sixteen months later, on May 31, 2010, the digital signal was officially launched to São Carlos and Araraquara. On December 7, 2018, the station moved its physical from UHF 42 to 25.
Transition to digital signal
editThe station turned off its analog signal, over VHF channel 6, on December 12, 2018, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.[1][2]
Controversies
editOn May 30, 2018, during the coverage of the truck drivers strike, a tema of the station that marked images of the Anhanguera Highway in Leme, was attacked by manifestants that participated of the movement. Few later of a live entrance to Jornal da EPTV 1ª Edição, the film reporter Marlon Tavoni and the external assistant Janesi Rigo were attacked. The reporter Patrícia Moser got to escape and trigger the Military Highway Police, that arrived to the local in five minutes. The two attacked were helped by Intervias, concessionary of the road. The incident was repudiated by many press associaions and sindicates.[3]
