TV Cidade (channel 8) is a television station in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, serving as an affiliate of the Record television network for the entire state, owned by locally based Grupo Cidade de Comunicação as its sole television broadcasting property.
In December the same year, businessman Miguel Dias de Sousa acquired 50% of the station, purchasing the rest in March 1979.
The station was affiliated with Rede Bandeirantes, with all programming originating from São Paulo.
In 1987, the station replaced its Rede Bandeirantes affiliation with that of SBT; during this period, the station was known for producing police programs, leading to high ratings within Ceará.
The station's chairman, Miguel Dias, announced in 1998 that TV Cidade would become an affiliate of Rede Record, which was expanding its coverage to all of Brazil at the time.
