History The initial steps for the implementation of the first television station in Ponta Grossa were made in October 1966, when businessmen Constâncio Mendes, main controller of ''Jornal da Manhã'' and Wallace Pina, owner and founder of Rádio Difusora, received a license to operate on VHF channel 7. Initially, it was supposed to begin operations on October 15 that year, however, due to financial problems, the station started to materialize on December 24, 1971, when its first experimental broadcast was made, being, for this reason, the longest time to install a television channel in Paraná, over a lapse of five years.

Ultra High Frequency
Ultra high frequency (UHF) is the ITU designation for radio frequencies in the range between 300 megahertz (MHz) and 3 gigahertz (GHz), also known as the decimetre band as the wavelengths range from one meter to one tenth of a meter (one decimetre). Radio waves with frequencies above the UHF band fall into the super-high frequency (SHF) or microwave frequency range. Lower frequency signals fall into the VHF ( very high frequency) or lower bands. UHF radio waves propagate mainly by line of sight; they are blocked by hills and large buildings although the transmission through building walls is strong enough for indoor reception. They are used for television broadcasting, cell phones, satellite communication including GPS, personal radio services including Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, satellite phones, and numerous other applications. The IEEE defines the UHF radar band as frequencies between 300 MHz and 1 GHz. Two other IEEE ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Nagib Chede travelled to the United States in 1958 to purchase the equipment needed for his television station.

This enabled Chede to make his station the first in the south, which eventually became a failed goal (due to the launch of TV Piratini in December 1959). Experimental broadcasts took place in the middle of 1960, starting at 8pm, with three or four employees and limited ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Television Stations In Brazil
Television (TV) is a telecommunication medium for transmitting moving images and sound. Additionally, the term can refer to a physical television set rather than the medium of transmission. Television is a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, news, and sports. The medium is capable of more than "radio broadcasting", which refers to an audio signal sent to radio receivers. Television became available in crude experimental forms in the 1920s, but only after several years of further development was the new technology marketed to consumers. After World War II, an improved form of black-and-white television broadcasting became popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions. During the 1950s, television was the primary medium for influencing public opinion.Diggs-Brown, Barbara (2011''Strategic Public Relations: Audience Focused Practice''p. 48 In the mid-1960s, color broadcasting was in ...
