SIC Radical is a Portuguese basic cable and satellite television channel owned by Sociedade Independente de Comunicação.
SIC Radical is an entertainment channel, initially targeted at teens and young adults, but since the appointment of Pedro Boucherie Mendes as its director of programming in 2008, it started to cater more towards a predominantly male audience. SIC Radical programing has shifted through its history, Curto Circuito being its iconic TV show, being present along with sci-fi series, anime, britcoms, talk-shows, erotic programming and amateur television. Along with originals, it airs several television shows from the United States and the United Kingdom. SIC Radical also shows reruns of popular TV-shows and does live coverage of the most important music festivals in Portugal.
