TV Bandeirantes Minas
History
TV Vila Rica was opened on March 2, 1967, based on a concession offered to Banco Real, with Simonsen receiving a part of the shares. Initially, it was affiliated with TV Excelsior, operating on channel 7 VHF, being part of the project to create a national network. However, due to several financial problems, in addition to troubled relations with the military government, Excelsior was taken off the air on September 30, 1970. With the network's extinction, TV Vila Rica began broadcasting TV Bandeirantes programming. On December 7, 1975, in the process of forming Rede Bandeirantes, TV Vila Rica was acquired by the São Paulo station, changing its name to TV Bandeirantes Minas in 1976.
The station airs approximately 16 hours of local programming per week. There is also Band Triângulo in the state, the second television station belonging to Grupo Bandeirantes de Comunicação, which broadcasts the group's programming to Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba. Previously, in 2008, the region received programming from Band Minas, based in Belo Horizonte. With the creation of Band Triângulo, it took over the antennas previously occupied by Band Minas in the region, consolidating the presence of Grupo Bandeirantes in this specific area.
This redistribution strengthened the offer of diverse and relevant television content for the public in Triângulo Mineiro and Alto Paranaíba.

Based on the federal decree transitioning Brazilian TV stations from analogue to digital signals, Band Minas, as well as other stations in Belo Horizonte, ceased broadcasting on channel 7 VHF on November 22, 2017, following the official ANATEL roadmap. The signal was cut off at 11:59 pm, during the Cine Band film session, being replaced by a slide from MCTIC and ANATEL about the switch-off.
