History


As TVI 24

TVI 24 was on TVI's drawing board for several years but plans for its official launch officially commenced in 2008. It was initially expected to launch on February 20, 2009, TVI's anniversary, but weeks before the launch, it was postponed to February 26 to focus on the celebration of TVI's sixteenth anniversary. The network was assigned channel 7 on most pay television lineups. In 2011, José Alberto Carvalho became director of the channel and also TVI's overall news director. TVI24 received a refresh on January 9, 2012, where it became more competitive with its direct competitors and affirmed itself as the largest multimedia news channel in Portugal. With the change, all news blocks on the channel were rebranded as ''Notícias 24'', except for programs like ''Discurso Direto, SOS24, 21ª Hora, 25ª Hora'' and ''2ª Hora'', where in addition to news updates there are discussion, interactivity and analysis components. Between 2015 and 2019, the ''21ª Hora'' is the main program of the channel. Filling in this place currently is another generic ''Notícias 24'' bulletin. On weekdays, after SOS24, the journalists Ana Sofia Cardoso, José Alberto Carvalho and Judite Sousa take turns presenting bulletins. From 20 February 2017, the network's news programming was broadcast from a refreshed TVI news studio.
