Television was a HUGE investment, specially for a country like Brazil, so the expansion of television in Brazil was very slow. Also, it seems that there was some political disagreement involved, because Mister Chateaubriand ( the guy who was behind the introduction of television in Brazil ) sided with the military and political factions who deposed President Getúlio Vargas in 1954, so the license for the Belo Horizonte station was not signed earlier than 1954.
