The appearance of a clandestine television station in Rio de Janeiro had already happened in 1986, through the creation of TVento Levou, which operated on VHF channel 3.
[2] At 8:00pm on Christmas Eve 1986 (December 24) TVento Levou went on air on channel 13 (previously occupied by the then-defunct TV Rio), showing parodies of Roberto Carlos' year-end specials on Rede Globo and of then-president José Sarney.
[8] On the first day, a group of people who watched the transmission on a television installed in a bar located in the Flamengo neighborhood were taken by the Federal Police to testify.
In August 1990, 3 Antena and TV Cubo, a pirate station based in the city of São Paulo, planned a joint transmission of programs produced by both.
[11] On the 29th of the same month, in the midst of the 1990 elections, the station broadcast a program that parodied the electoral advertisements of the candidates for deputy in Rio de Janeiro, in addition to conducting interviews with the population on the subject.
