On August 31, 2010, Rozza Paranatinga announced that he would leave TV Eldorado for TV Cidade Dourada's Jornal da Cidade after turning out a proposal for TV Amazônia in Santarém due to having businesses in Itaituba.[6] Upon his death by a heart attack on September 14, 2011, two weeks before he was scheduled to narrate the coverage of a match between Brazil and Argentina in Belém,[7] he was replaced by Jean Galego.[8]

In July 2017, TV Cidade Dourada was sold to doctor Manoel Cordovil Diniz, who was set to take control from August 1.[2] The station premiered Tá em Casa with Maria do Carmo on October 6, 2017.[9]
