I'm surprised that MG was five years behind São Paulo in getting television. Belo Horizonte was among the most modern cities at the time (at least architecturally) and quite a large market (much smaller than SP, of course).

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.

I wonder if they'd consider shipping it to Ohio for "preservation"
