History
The station was launched as TV Cacoal on October 13, 1981, by journalist Phelippe Daou.[1] Initially, like the other stations of Rede Amazônica's compound, it was a Rede Bandeirantes affiliate.[2]
On January 24, 1983, the station joined TV Globo.[2][3]
In 2012, G1 Cacoal e Zona da Mata started.[2] On January 3, 2015, the station abandoned the name TV Cacoal, changing its name to Rede Amazônica Cacoal.[4]
On September 10, 2018, Rede Amazônica Cacoal started producing the local edition of Jornal de Rondônia 2ª Edição.[5] The edition was produced until 2019.[6]
On May 15, 2023, after four years, Rede Amazônica Cacoal started producing local news again, with the return of the local edition of Jornal de Rondônia 2ª Edição.[6] The program, however, instead of being produced in Cacoal, is produced from the main Rede Amazônica studios in Manaus.[7]
