TV Universitária is a Brazilian television station based in Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco. It operates on channel 11 (UHF digital 40) and is affiliated to TV Brasil. It belongs to the University Radio and TV Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco , which also includes radio stations Paulo Freire and Universitária FM. It was opened in 1968, being the first educational TV station created in the country.

History

The idea for an educational station in Recife stemmed from Caetano Queiroz de Andrade in 1963.[1]

On January 11, 1966, the National Telecommunications Council (CONTEL) reserved five frequencies for non-commercial educational television stations: channel 5 in Londrina, channel 11 in Recife, channel 6 in Alegrete, channel 3 in Bagé and channel 5 in Bauru. CONTEL granted the license to channel 11, what would become TVU, on February 4, 1966, with the contract being signed on February 28 the same year.[1] The first test broadcasts were helf on July 28, 1968.[1]

TV Universitária was created on November 22, 1968, as a part of the Núcleo de TV e Rádios Universitárias - a supplementary body of UFPE - with the purpose of expanding the horizons of information, culture and education.[2] At the time, TV was the fastest growing means of communication, according to UNESCO, and Brazil was among the ten countries with the highest number of television sets. At the time, it was in ninth place in a total of 110 countries, with 4,5 million television sets and 500,000 new television sets manufactured per year.[1] The Northeast region had 200,000 residential television sets and, despite being part of one of the poorest regions in the country, these statistics were used as justification for the implementation of the channel in Pernambuco, according to the report "Televisão Universitária - Canal 11", on the implementation of the station.[2] It was located at a terrain on Avenida Norte.[1]

According to the document, illiteracy reached 50% of the population and was the same rate as school-age inhabitants. To educate and train this part of society that was far from education centers, TVU was created as it had a greater reach.[2]

The broadcaster began its production with more than 20 programs. Under the general direction of Professor Manoel Caetano, the production department had a team of 12 people. The sector produced 11 programs, including Sala de Visitas, The Grand Jury, No Mundo das Artes and Isto é Universidade. In the 2000s, TV Universitária was part of the Public Television Network (RPTV), which reached 98 million viewers throughout Brazil. In 2008, the station started showing TV Brasil programming, but without stopping showing TV Cultura.[2]

In 2009, it left RPTV and TV Cultura and became entirely affiliated to TV Brasil.[2]
