History

The network began to be formed on March 10, 1985, when it was founded, by entrepreneurs ACM Júnior and César Mata Pires,[2] the TV Bahia in Salvador.[3] The station was affiliated with Rede Manchete from its foundation to January 23, 1987, when it became an Rede Globo affiliate.[4] On November 5, 1988, TV Santa Cruz was inaugurated in Itabuna, being the first television station owned by Rede Bahia in the interior of the state, also affiliated with Rede Globo.[5] TV Sudoeste was the second, being inaugurated on March 31, 1990, in Vitória da Conquista.[6] TV São Francisco signed on in December 1 of the same year in Juazeiro, with the branding TV Norte,[7] and TV Oeste was the last to be founded by the group, wenting on air on February 2, 1991, in Barreiras.[8]

TV Subaé signed on the air on June 1, 1988, at Feira de Santana, being the first Rede Globo-affiliated station in the interior of Bahia,[9] but it was not founded by Rede Bahia. Its founder was the businessman Modesto Cerqueira, and the station was part of Grupo Modesto Cerqueira.[10] It was only in 1998 that the station became part of the statewide network, when the local group sold part of its shares to business partners of Grupo TV Bahia.[11]

On July 2, 1998, the network adopted the nomenclature Rede Bahia de Televisão. The change took place at the same time that the conglomerate was renamed Rede Bahia.[12]

In 2012, the quotas belonging to César Mata Pires in Rede Bahia were sold to the Coutinho Nogueira family, owner of the EP Group, owner of the regional television network based in cities of São Paulo and one city of Minas Gerais, EPTV, also an Globo affiliate.[13][14]

In 2014, the network was the winner in the category "Biggest Audience" of Rede Globo's National Programming Award, among the participating affiliates of the National Television Panel. It was also one of the three finalists in the categories "Best Calls" (with the call of the match between Juazeirense and Juazeiro) and "Regional Line Programs" (with the local entertainment show Mosaico Baiano).[15][16]

In May 2019, a process of dismissals was initiated at the network's stations, from journalists to employees, after financial losses suffered by the group in 2018. TV Oeste, from Barreiras, and TV São Francisco, from Juazeiro, stopped the production of local news programs due to the dismissal of employees.[17] On the Juazeiro station, 16 were fired.[18] The stations continued to produce reports for network programs and news bulletins.

On October 25, 2021, TV Oeste reactivated the production of local newscasts through the local edition of Bahia Meio Dia, with a duration of 30 minutes, anchored by Carlos Augusto.[19]
