In 1995, the station opened an office in Volta Redonda, gaining a local team; up until then, the staff had to move from Resende to cover local events. The weekly program Rio Sul Revista (renamed Revista in 2017) premiered in 1997. TV Rio Sul opened a new regional unit in Angra dos Reis in 2000. In 2001, its website Rio Sul Net openet, being shut down in April 2013 due to the realignment of Globo's affiliate websites. In 2009, a fourth unit, geographically distant from the Resende offices and the adjacent regional units, opened in Três Rios.
