RBS TV Uruguaiana (channel 13) is a television station in Uruguaiana, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, affiliated with TV Globo, member of RBS TV and owned by Grupo RBS. RBS TV Uruguaiana's studios and transmitter are located on Domingos José de Almeida Street, in the downtown.
The station was founded on April 2, 1974, by Maurício Sirotsky Sobrinho, as the sixth station of the network led by TV Gaúcha in Porto Alegre. At that time, the signal coming from the capital arrived in precarious conditions, and the solution found was to transmit all local programming on videotape, which generated a delay of one day in relation to the original transmission.
Years later, these signal problems were remedied after an improvement in microwave links and later with satellite transmission. On October 1, 1983, TV Uruguaiana was renamed RBS TV Uruguaiana, with the standardization of RBS TV stations in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.
