TVCine is a Portuguese premium television brand used on four movie channels, operated by NOS. They showcase recent movies and premieres from all the major studios, as well as comedy, action, classic and old movies.
The TVCine brand was launched on November 1, 2007, replacing the Lusomundo branding of the channels that had been launched on June 1, 2003. In May, 2009, they started to broadcast in 16:9 24-hours a day, instead of the old 4:3 format.
As of September 1, 2015 TVSéries has granted HBO series exclusivity in Portugal and has adopted "Home of HBO" as its tagline.[1][2]
