History

edit

TV Allamanda foi founded in July 1988, relaying SBT's programming, on VHF channel 8, later moving to channel 13 at an unknown date. Its first local program was Estúdio Aberto, presented by Sérgio Valente. In 1990, it premiered TJ Allamanda and Bronca Livre, the latter of which presented by Francisco Rangel and Marcelo Reis.

On December 26, 2009, TV Allamanda's headquarters suffered a fire which destroyed its main studio, due to a short circuit happening after an electric discharge. This damaged its local programming, to the extent that the station had to improvise sets in other parts of the building.[1] After a year of reforms, the station resumed its normal operations in 2011, while at the same time it presented its new schedule, replacing Allamanda Hoje with Allamanda Revista.

On November 21, 2023, TV Allamanda was acquired by Grupo Norte de Comunicação, a company from Manaus. Grupo Norte de Comunicação is responsible for SBT affiliates in the states of Acre, Amazonas, Tocantins ad Roraima, as well as controlling the Band affiliate in Roraima.[2][3] On December 29, it was announced that the station would become TV Norte Rondônia, aligning itself with the protocols established by Grupo Norte. The rename took place on January 31, 2024.[4]
