TVE RS online television

TVE RS (TV Educativa do Rio Grande do Sul) is a Brazilian public television station based in Porto Alegre, the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul . The primary language of broadcasting is Portuguese. The station was inaugurated on March 29, 1974, in partnership with the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), where it originally operated as a laboratory for journalism students . Today, it is owned by the Government of the State of Rio Grande do Sul, operating under the Radio Broadcasting and Audiovisual Directorate of the Secretariat of Communication and Digital Inclusion . The station broadcasts on digital UHF channel 30 (virtual channel 7.1) and is the primary affiliate of TV Brasil in the state . Its slogan is "Cultura muda sua vida" (Culture changes your life).

On air, TVE RS is renowned for its focus on educational, cultural, and journalistic programming. The station maintains a strong commitment to local content, producing over 13 hours of original weekly programming focusing on the culture, citizenship, and diversity of Rio Grande do Sul . Throughout its history, the station has been a pioneer in Rio Grande do Sul television journalism, launching programs that gave space to local rock bands and cultural debates, such as Pra Começo de Conversa and Radar . The station's General Director is Caio Klein .

TVE RS has faced significant challenges, including changes in network affiliations (having previously broadcast content from TV Cultura and TVE Brasil) and a major political crisis following the 2018 extinction of the Piratini Foundation, which managed the station. This event threatened the station's closure and led to the loss of its deliberative council, which had previously ensured civil society participation in its programming decisions . The station's future was secured in 2019 under the administration of Governor Eduardo Leite, who discarded proposals to transfer the broadcaster to the private sector .

TVE RS is available throughout the state of Rio Grande do Sul via digital terrestrial television on channel 7.1. The station also streams its programming 24/7 online through its official website (tve.com.br), mobile applications, and its YouTube channel, ensuring that its educational and cultural content reaches audiences across Brazil and the global diaspora .

TVE RS strives to be a reference in public communication, promoting culture, education, citizenship, and diversity. The mission of the channel is to democratize access to quality information, to give voice to regional artistic movements, and to serve Rio Grande do Sul as the state's primary public broadcaster. Thanks to modern digital platforms, TVE RS provides the opportunity to watch its live broadcast on any device, ensuring that its programming reaches audiences across the state and around the world wherever they are.
