Porto Canal is a Portuguese pay television channel broadcasting from northern Portugal based in Matosinhos. Launched on 29 September 2006, it serves a spiritual successor of NTV (from Porto TV, based in Vila Nova de Gaia), which broadcast between 2001 and 2004 and was replaced by RTPN, Radiotelevisão Portuguesa's news channel.
In 2011, it entered into a partnership with F.C. Porto and has, ever since, operated as a general regional channel with a strong emphasis on the club’s activities.
