TV Tupi Rio de Janeiro

TV Tupi Rio de Janeiro was a Brazilian television station based in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the capital of the state with the same name. It operated on VHF channel 6 and was owned by Rede Tupi throughout its existence. It was the second television station to launch in Brazil, following TV Tupi São Paulo, which would soon form part of Rede Tupi.

History
As early as July 1944, Assis Chateaubriand held discussions with RCA executives David Sarnoff and Vladimir Zworykin, where he insisted that his conglomerate should establish two television stations, one in São Paulo and the other in Rio de Janeiro. On January 27, 1948, the Diário da Noite reported the imminent arrival of television in both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. ==References==
