A new TV channel focused on culture will be launched in Portugal in January 2022.
Owned by Letrasimpares Ltd, a content publisher and producer with more than 30 years of experience in digital content, Canal Cultura has been a year and a half in the planning and will offer viewers what it terms original and differentiated content.
Although the channel will be focused principally on Portuguese content, around 15-20% of its schedule, such as classical music concerts, theatre, films and series, may be of international origin.
Canal Cultura will be available on all digital devices including smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktops, as well as integrated into Andriod, iOS, Android TV and Apple TV.
It will cost €4.99 a month for an annual subscription if ordered up to January 8 or €5.99 a month on a monthly basis.
Customers will also be offered a one-week trial period before their subscription starts.
