TV Integração Ituiutaba (channel 7) is a Brazilian television station based in Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais serving as an affiliate of the TV Globo network. Since 2016, its coverage area is limited to the city of license.
History The station was founded in 1989 as TV Pontal, covering the Pontal Mineiro region, whose signal also reached Uberaba. Since launch, it was part of the TV Triângulo group of affiliates in inland Minas Gerais. In 1997, Rede Globo acquired stocks in the group and made investments to the stations, among them TV Pontal, which was renamed TV Ideal under this plan and improved its coverage area.Além das montanhas: saberes e costumes mineiros na tela do Terra De Minas The news operation was also improved.Memória 60 anos: conheça a TV Ideal e a TV União, marcas que já fizeram parte do Grupo Integração In 2003, the name Ideal was dropped after all of the group's stations adopted the uniform TV Integração brand.
Over time, the station's office in Uberaba eclipsed the main headquarters in Ituiutaba. This scheme continued until 2016, when TV Integração acquired a new license to operate in the city on channel 3, displacing its former relay on channel 11 (since then, it was occupied by Spiritist channel TV Mundo Maior, which generates its programs from Guarulhos). Uberaba produced programs for the Ituiutaba station until March 31, 2016; after that date, the coverage area was reduced to Ituiutaba following the launch of the new affiliate.
