TVCOM (acronym for TV Comunidade (Community TV)) was a Brazilian television station based in the Porto Alegre city, capital of Rio Grande do Sul state, and belonged to the Grupo RBS, a large regional conglomerate, responsible for the RBS TV network. It was established in 1995 with the purpose of being a community channel, and its programming was partially broadcast and fully broadcast on cable TV.
The channel was extinguished in 2015 to make way for the OCTO project,[1] which in turn was discontinued the following year due to low repercussions.[2] The station also had a branch in the Florianópolis city, in the Santa Catarina state, which operated between 2000 and 2017.[3]
