History edit

In the early 2000s, Manoel Antônio Bernardes Costa acquired educational television concessions from two foundations, one in Osasco and the other in Rio de Janeiro.[1] These stations were launched in 2003 as the Nova Geração de Televisão network, with a studio facility known as Espaço 48 ("Space 48", after the analog channel number) also being fitted out.[2] A range of alternative programming was promised.[3]

In 2020, it was reported that the network had put itself up for sale.[4]
