TV Nacional was a Brazilian television station based in Brasília, Federal District. It operated on VHF channel 2 and was owned by Radiobrás, a public company that controlled the Federal Government's communication vehicles, including the Nacional AM and FM radio stations. Nacional was one of the first three television stations to be opened in 1960 at the same time as the new federal capital, which until then was located in Rio de Janeiro. In 2007, with the merger between Radiobrás and the Associação de Comunicação Educativa Roquette Pinto do Rio, which resulted in the creation of Empresa Brasil de Comunicação, the broadcaster ended its activities to give way to TV Brasil Capital, generator and head of the TV Brasil network.
