RTP África
Portugal
RTP África is operated by the Portuguese public broadcaster and targets audiences in Portuguese-speaking African countries as well as diaspora communities in Portugal. Its schedule leans heavily on news and current affairs, drawing from RTP’s main news services and adding reports focused on economic and social developments across the PALOP region. The channel also carries Portuguese-language films, telenovelas, and music programming that highlights artists from Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Brazil. Cultural documentaries, talk shows on health and education, and coverage of national holidays or religious ceremonies like Easter and Christmas masses appear regularly. Sports broadcasts are limited but include major football tournaments involving Portuguese or African teams.
Viewers can access RTP África through cable and satellite providers in several African countries, and it is also available via the RTP Play streaming platform for live and on-demand viewing. The channel’s programming grid follows Lisbon time, though some slots are adjusted for time zone differences in Africa. TV guide listings are published weekly on the RTP website and in Portuguese newspapers. No original content is produced exclusively for this channel; instead, it curates and repackages material from RTP1, RTP2, and RTP
