According to this report ( in Portuguese ) in this 1961 issue of the magazine "Radiolandia" , the station TV Jornal do Comércio of the city of Recife, Northeast of Brazil, had the most powerful transmitters in the world. It was capable of reaching 700 kilometers, it was said that it reached Argentina and could easily be watched in Rio de Janeiro if the viewer had an appropriate antenna.
The report says that nothing like this existed in other parts of the world because in Europe the distances were much smaller and in the USA the stations were linked by coaxial cable and microwave ( by 1961 only three states of Brazil were linked, the rest of the Nation still had only local programming and films ).
Never knew that a TV transmitter this powerful could be built!
