SBT Rio (channel 11) is a Brazilian television station located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, capital of the state of the same name, serving as an owned-and-operated station of Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão for most of the state. The station has its facilities located in the Charles de Gaulle Business Center, in the Castelo region, downtown Rio de Janeiro, on the outskirts of Santos Dumont Airport, and its transmitters are at the top of Morro do Sumaré, in the Rio Comprido neighborhood.
The broadcaster went on air on 14 May 1976, under the name TVS, and was a (probable) member of Record until 1981, being the first TV concession acquired by businessman Silvio Santos, five years before the Silvio Santos Group acquired part of Rede Tupi's concessions and forming the national network that would become SBT.
