The license for VHF channel 9 in Goiânia was granted by João Figueiredo on March 12, 1985,[1] to a company led by Goianese senator Benedito Vicente Ferreira. However, it was handed over to businessman José Alves Filho, owner of retail outlet Alô Brasil and food company Arisco, who was responsible for the implementation of the station. TV Serra Dourada was inaugurated on May 14, 1989, and has been an SBT affiliate since the beginning, which had kicked off TV Goyá from its affiliate base the previous year. Its inaugural programming had two local news editions, Informativo Serra Dourada and TJ Goiás, local version of TJ Brasil.[2]
The main program, Jornal do Meio Dia, was created on September 30, 1991 by Cassim Zaidem. Currently on air, it is a community service newscast with the length of 85 minutes, mixing news, commentary, music and social services.[3] In 1994, due to financial problems the Alô Brasil group was facing, TV Serra Dourada was sold to businessman João Alves de Queiroz Filho, owner of food industries Arisco and Assolan, starting to become a part of the group of the same name.[2]
TV Serra Dourada's first facilities, at Pouso Alto street in the Campinas sector, suffered a fire in 1999, and with the creation of Serra Dourada FM (now 99,5 FM) it was necessary to increase the size of its facilities, which was not possible in the previous location. The Castorina Bittencourt Alves building was built in Jardim Goiás and inaugurated in 2002, having two TV studios, radio facilities, as well as Teatro João Alves de Queiroz.
