TV Integração Uberaba (channel 3) is a Brazilian television station based in Uberaba, Minas Gerais serving as an affiliate of the TV Globo network for the southern end of the Triângulo Mineiro region, a panhandle in the western top of the state. Part of Rede Integração, the station covers thirteen municipalities.
Rede Integração entered a public competition to operate a television station in Uberaba in April 1999,[1] while on April 2, 2002, president of the republic Fernando Henrique Cardoso granted, through a decree published at Diário Oficial da União, VHF channel 3 for the station.[2] Years later, on October 22, 2015, the station's license contract was signed with a length of 15 years,[3][4] being published on Diário Oficial da União on October 27.[5]
From this date on, preparations for the new station began. Uberaba until then was part of the coverage area of TV Integração Ituiutaba, founded in 1988, and had a subsidiary in Uberaba where its programs were produced since 1997. The subsidiary increased its capacities in order to accommodate the future station's image generation equipment.[6]
TV Integração Uberaba started broadcasting in the early afternoon of April 1, 2016, during MGTV 1ª edição. The inauguration counted with the participation of Rede Integração's president, Tubal de Siqueira Silva, superintendent Rogério Nery and Uberaba mayor Paulo Piau, as well as Globo's actors and other personalities, to an audience of 300 guests. The station became the fifth of Rede Integração and Rede Globo's overall 119th affiliate, generating its programming to 13 municipalities, some of them formerly part of TV Integração Uberlândia and TV Integração Ituiutaba's coverage areas.[7][8]

Before its establishment, TV Integração Ituiutaba had a digital relay station on UHF channel 31, which started broadcasting on June 8, 2010.[9] On April 1, 2016, the Ministry of Communications granted UHF channel 39 for the station's digital broadcasts,[10] which entered a test phase a week before the station started. On April 1, 2016, the former relay station was switched off on VHF channel 11, while the new digital channel (39) went on air in tandem with the analog frequency on VHF channel 3.
Based on the federal decree envisioning the shutdown of analog TV, TV Integração Uberaba, as well as the other stations in Uberaba, shut down its analog signal on VHF channel 3 on December 5, 2018 (a little over two and a half years after opening), following the official ANATEL roadmap.[11]
