CNN Portugal online - Television live

CNN Portugal Live Stream

CNN Portugal is a Portuguese 24-hour news channel owned by Media Capital, broadcasting under a licensing agreement with CNN Worldwide. The channel began on 26 February 2009 as TVI 24, the rolling-news arm of the terrestrial network Televisão Independente, and took its current name on 22 November 2021. In March 2022 it was the most-watched paid channel in Portugal.

From TVI 24 to CNN

TVI 24 was planned for TVI's anniversary on 20 February 2009 but launched six days later, on 26 February, because of the Carnival holidays, taking channel 7 on most pay-TV line-ups. From 2011 the journalist José Alberto Carvalho directed the channel, and a 2012 relaunch organised the grid into Notícias 24 news blocks, keeping formats such as Discurso Direto, SOS 24, 21ª Hora and 25ª Hora for discussion and analysis. In May 2021 Media Capital announced the agreement with CNN, and the rebranding to CNN Portugal took effect on 22 November 2021, followed in 2022 by the channel's own app developed with the Portuguese company Magycal.

The Newsroom Today

The channel's day is built around live bulletins and debate. Central CNN anchors the schedule, while coverage is organised in sections for Portugal, the world, politics - including the 2026 presidential race - economy, sport, arts and opinion, with commentary from columnists such as Rafael Martins and Agostinho Costa. Special projects include the CNN International Summit in Lisbon and branded documentary strands.
