It operates on channel 6 (digital UHF 43) and is both an owned-and-operated station and the generator of Central Nacional de Televisão.

The channel was opened in 1960 as TV Paraná on the initiative of journalists Assis Chateaubriand, owner of the media conglomerate Diários Associados, from which the station had support, and Adherbal Stresser.

The support allowed the channel to benefit from equipment and professionals from TV Tupi in São Paulo, also from the Chateaubriand group, from which some of its programs were retransmitted in Paraná.

The local network prioritized sports broadcasts,[1] and the station was the first in Brazil to show a football game with narration.

At the end of that year, plans were announced to expand OM's coverage to other states, which would make it a nationwide network, with TV Paraná as generator, thus ceasing to retransmit Record and assuming independent programming.
