In the same year, businesspeople received news that the Ministry of Communications would open a public tender to establish a television station in the city of Manaus.

In July 1969, after examining the competition notice in detail, businessmen Phelippe, Milton and Joaquim decided to compete for the bid for channel 5 VHF.

The station's first studios operated at Avenida Carvalho Leal, 1270, in the Cachoeirinha neighborhood, which today houses the Fundação Rede Amazônica, since 2003.

As a result, it began using tapes from REI and TV Cultura, as well as canned imports from Fox and Columbia Pictures' catalogs to compose its programming.

[1] Still in 1972, the Ministry of Communications signed a partnership with TV Amazonas to implement a series of repeaters in the states of Acre and Rondônia.

Since there were many spaces provided by the Band to productions by its affiliates, TV Amazonas premiered several local programs, some of them notorious such as Teledisco, presented by Beto de Paula, the talk-show Encontro com o Povo, and the Consuelo Nunes Program, about the feminine universe.

This year, TV Amazonas disintegrated its Amazon Sat programming, starting to have an exclusive satellite signal.

On September 1, the date on which it completed 40 years on air, several flash mobs were organized in various parts of the city, such as Studio 5, Terminal 5 and Orla da Ponta Negra.

In these flash mobs, several graffiti artists created panels with impressions of the station, in addition to dance groups performing.

The goal was to integrate all stations, in order to strengthen the brand and standardize the quality of programming.

The Zappeando program gained a new season, and Paneiro also debuted, which showcases the region's musical rhythms.

[11] And on December 14, the group's then president and last remaining member, Phelippe Daou, died of multiple organ failures.

On September 1, 2018, the day the station turned 46, the news program Bom Dia Sábado premiered, presented by Larissa Santiago and broadcast across the five states covered by Rede Amazônica.
