TVI Internacional Live

TVI Internacional is the version of Portugal's TVI made for Portuguese communities around the world. It combines the best of TVI and CNN Portugal with a few programmes of its own: Portuguese soaps such as A Protegida, Doce Tentação and A Herdeira, Big Brother, the afternoon entertainment of Dois às 10, Funtástico, Ganha Já and Em Família, and drama series like Casos da Vida.

News is part of every day, with TVI's bulletins and CNN Portugal programmes, so Portuguese families in the UK, Canada, the United States or anywhere else can keep up with home. For anyone learning Portuguese or curious about Portugal, it is also an easy way into the country's popular television, all in Portuguese.

The channel launched at 8 pm on 30 May 2010 with the Jornal Nacional newscast and a gala celebrating 50 years in the career of actor Nicolau Breyner, while a special gala hosted by Manuel Luís Goucha was broadcast from New York to mark the start. It belongs to Media Capital, the group behind TVI, based in Queluz de Baixo, near Lisbon.
