TV5 (channel 5) is a Brazilian television station based in Rio Branco, capital of the state of Acre that is affiliated to Rede Bandeirantes. It is owned by locally based Ecoacre Comunicações.

TV5 went on air on VHF channel 5 on April 15, 1996, assuming the position of an affiliate of Rede Record, which at that time was in the process of forming a network. The station became a new option as a TV channel in Rio Branco and the region, whose purpose was to create a different style of television. Throughout this period, it contributed significantly to local television journalism, consolidating itself as an important alternative for viewers in the region.[1]

In 2001, after five years as an affiliate of Record, the broadcaster's contract was not renewed, when the network decided not to renew and sign with TV Gazeta, which at the time was a RedeTV! affiliate. With this, the station became an affiliate of RedeTV!. That same year, businessman Pedro Neves took over the station.[1]

In 2002, just over a year after broadcasting RedeTV!, the broadcaster switched networks again, this time broadcasting Rede Bandeirantes. RedeTV! started to be broadcast on TV Quinari. According to Pedro Neves, in an interview with the Acrean website Página 20:

“Band, a network with great journalistic credibility, came to us when we were still affiliated to RedeTV!. When I received this invitation, I looked for the directors of RedeTV! to have a conversation, they accepted this change without any problems, however, we only joined Band when RedeTV! partners with Canal 40. We couldn't help but remember the partnership with Band, which has greatly contributed to our growth, and not forget the other networks we've already partnered with, Rede Record and RedeTV!.”[1]

The businessman assured that the adaptations made by the station after its affiliation with Band were very good.

“The audience has been satisfactory, the number of advertisers increased every day, our programming has improved considerably and we now have three local programs a day.”[1]

On December 6, 2004, the news program TV 5 Notícias premiered at 4:30 pm, presented by Demóstenes Nascimento.[2] From February 2005, with the end of summer time in the southern region of the country, the program had its schedule adjusted, starting to be broadcast at 5 pm. The program was even shown at night.[1]

In 2006, in celebration of ten years on air, the broadcaster promoted a big party, with the presence of the band Furacão do Calipso, a success throughout the country. Several local bands participated in the vast program of activities organized by the station. The event took place on April 29, at 8 pm, at Atlético Clube Juventus.[1]

On June 24, 2008, there was a change in the Brazilian time zone in Acre and the extreme west and southwest of Amazonas, which left the state with just 1 hour less in relation to Brasília time. With this change, local program schedules were changed. On November 10, 2013, this difference returned to two hours (three in summer time).
