Record Bahia (channel 5) is a Brazilian broadcast television station in Salvador, Bahia. It was created on November 19, 1960. It belongs to Record and minority interests.
The station became the second Record O&O to achieve leadership in all-day average ratings in 2018, after Record Goiás a few years earlier.[1]
In 1956, as part of an expansion plan for the Associated Broadcasters Network, Assis Chateaubriand received 9 concessions to establish television stations in the main Brazilian capitals, and one of them was channel 5 VHF in Salvador. In the same year, Rádio Sociedade da Bahia promoted two experimental broadcasts of the new means of communication, namely a mass at the Basilica Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Praia and a musical show, on December 8 and 9, respectively.[2]
