History
The station was founded by TV Ariquemes by journalist Phelippe Daou on December 26, 1979,[1] being the first television station to sign on in the city.[2] Initially, like the other stations of the network, it was a Rede Bandeirantes affiliate.[1]
In 1983, following the example of the other stations of the network (except TV Amazonas), TV Ariquemes left Rede Bandeirantes and joined Rede Globo.[3]
On January 3, 2015, the station abandoned the former TV Ariquemes nomenclature, becoming Rede Amazônica Ariquemes.[4]
From September 19, 2016, Rede Amazônica Ariquemes started producing entire local editions of Jornal de Rondônia.[5] On the same day, the station introduced a new news set.[6]
