TV Community (popularly known by the acronym TVCOM) was a Brazilian television station based in Florianópolis, in state of Santa Catarina, but until 2015, it was headquartered in Porto Alegre, in Rio Grande do Sul. At the time of its extinction, it operated in the channel 36 of NET, and until 2016, was a community channel of the Grupo RBS, when the shares of Santa Catarina were sold to Grupo NC, including the shares of the issuer.

It originally operated in Porto Alegre until November 17, 2015, when the Grupo RBS replaced the channel with the television project OCTO, in an attempt to restructure the community channel. Since then, it has had its headquarters and operation only in Florianópolis until its extinction, on February 27, 2017. It presented its own programs and also retransmitted programs of its sister, RBS TV.
