Portugal’s television media reflects a country shaped by both the mainland and its Atlantic island regions. RTP, the national public broadcaster, operates nationwide television services as well as regional channels for the Azores and Madeira, giving those autonomous regions their own public-service coverage. In the north, Porto Canal adds a regional perspective from the Porto area, while ARTV provides direct coverage of parliamentary proceedings and legislative affairs. Portuguese is the shared language across the broadcasters represented here.
Squid TV brings these different roles into one editorial view by identifying where broadcasters are based, the areas and audiences they serve, and the subjects their programming emphasizes. Moving from Lisbon-based national services to northern regional television and the Atlantic islands offers a geographic perspective on Portugal’s media environment, while specialist news and parliamentary services show how television also supports public information and civic life.
