History
editBefore the creation of TV Verdes Mares Cariri, the signal from the Fortaleza station was retransmitted throughout the whole state of Ceará, and in Juazeiro do Norte it initially operated on VHF channel 4. In 2002, starting the project to open the branch in the city, the Verdes Mares System carried out a change of channels: channel 4 was transferred to TV Diário and TV Verdes Mares was moved to channel 9, until then the a repeater of Rede Vida — in order not to leave it off the air, the Verdes Mares System intermediated the request for a new grant, on UHF channel 15.[2]
TV Verdes Mares Cariri was opened on October 1, 2009, being the 122nd affiliate of TV Globo and the second in Ceará.[3] On the 28th of the same month, a ceremony was held to commemorate the arrival of the station at Parque de Eventos Padre Cícero, where local public figures were present, including mayors of some cities in the region and the then vice-governor of the state Francisco Pinheiro. At the station's headquarters, located on Avenida Padre Cícero, in Juazeiro do Norte, the bishop of the Diocese of Crato, Dom Fernando Panico, who held a mass, Father Marcelo Rossi and the singer Waldonys, presented to the public.[4]
