RIC TV (Rede Independência de Comunicação or in English Independence Network Communications) is a Brazilian television network affiliated to RecordTV.
History
[edit]It was created in 1986 in Curitiba, Paraná, with the founding of Sistema Sul de Comunicação's television network, with TV Independência Curitiba, a Manchete affiliate. Initially it aimed to start broadcasts in September 1986,[1] but due to commercial considerations from TV Curitiba, which had left Band to affiliate itself with Manchete, only to rejoin Band due to ratings issues,[2] the main station started broadcasting in July when TV Curitiba change affiliations.[3] In 1989, the group set up a station in Guarapuava,[4] which was sold in 1993 and is now RPC Guarapuava.
When Edir Macedo's Record network bought 30% of the company's shares, the stations became affiliated with the network.[5] In 2008, the group started to operate in Santa Catarina and lasted until 2019, when the assets in the state were sold to Grupo ND as NDTV.
