Televisão Amadora de Pernes (TVA, also known as Televisão Regional de Pernes, while still using the aforementioned initials) was a pirate television station in the parish of Pernes, in the city of Santarém in central-southern Portugal. It was reportedly the first such station in operation, claiming to start a full color service before RTP did. The station was founded by José Guilherme Paradiz, who previously had similar experiences on radio.
