Canal de Notícias de Lisboa was the first Portuguese news channel, owned by Lisboa TV. It existed from 1999 to 2001 and was acquired by Sociedade Independente de Comunicação in 2000. Poor ratings and performance led to the shutdown and takeover of its channel capacity by SIC Notícias on 8 January 2001.
