TV Bahia (channel 10) is a television station in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, affiliated with TV Brasil. The station is maintained by the Bahia Educational Radio Broadcasting Institute (IRDEB), a government body of the State of Bahia that is also responsible for radio station Educadora FM.
The station was opened on November 9, 1985 by the Institute of Educational Broadcasting of Bahia (IRDEB), being the fifth television station to go on air in the state.[1]
TVE Bahia gained its first affiliate in 1995, TV Cultura do Sertão, in Conceição do Coité. The Coiteense station was responsible for transmitting TVE programming to the city until 2017, when it ceased operations.[2] In 2002, TV UESB was inaugurated, also a TVE Bahia affiliate.[3] In 2003, its signal began to be relayed by TV Valente, in the municipality of Valente.[4] Said station, however, was shut down by ANATEL in 2007.[5]
In 2007, with the creation of TV Brasil, the broadcaster began broadcasting its programming in combination with TV Cultura.[6] However, in 2009 it stopped airing the São Paulo-based station and passed to air all the programming of the network controlled by EBC.
In 2019, the station began a process of digitizing its signal in the interior of the state. Some of the first 58 cities to receive the signal were Feira de Santana, Guanambi, Ipiaú and Ipirá.[7] The process continued in 2020.[8] In the same year, the station joined Canal Futura, whose partnership lasted three years.
In 2025, the station began transmitting its programming on free-to-view satellite channel 222 of the Star One D2 satellite via Embratel's SAT HD Regional system throughout Brazil.[9][10][11]
