This is the first Brazilian free-to-air and terrestrial news channel. The on air button was pushed at 8:15pm (Brasília time) by the then president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Edir Macedo, the network's owner.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Revolutions are the periods of history when individuals count most.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
