History
The station was inaugurated on November 5, 1988, being the second station affiliated with Rede Globo in the interior of Bahia, and the first belonging to Rede Bahia.[3] Initially, its shareholders were ACM Júnior, André Maron and César Mata Pires.[4] Several professionals from Salvador, such as João Aldemir Venceslau (who later took part in the implementation of TV Subaé) and Carlos Ribas, who was from TV Bahia, were part of the network's implementation team. The station was responsible for creating the variety show Somos Nós, which also had a version produced by TV Sudoeste, from Vitória da Conquista.[5]
In March 2008, amidst disputes over the inheritance of Antônio Carlos Magalhães, César Mata Pires, one of the station's shareholders at the time, refused to sign the renewal of TV Santa Cruz's license. The reason was his defeat in the dispute for control of Rede Bahia. The purpose of preventing the station's renewal was to pressure the majority shareholders to cede control of the group to him, as there was a fear that TV Santa Cruz would lose its license.[6] Subsequently, the station's license was renewed, and in 2012, César Mata Pires sold his share of Rede Bahia to Grupo EP, owner of EPTV, also affiliated with Rede Globo.[7]
On August 1, 2017, TV Santa Cruz laid off 9 employees as part of network-wide layoffs.[8] In January 2018, the station fired employees and closed its local office in Teixeira de Freitas.[9]
In May 10, 2021, the station began to broadcast a fully local produced edition of the newscast Bahia Meio Dia.[10]

TV Santa Cruz will shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 4, on December 31, 2023, following ANATEL's official schedule, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television.[15]
