Lusomundo

Lusomundo

Lusomundo was a Portuguese integrated media corporation founded in 1953, which had major interests in movie distribution, cinema teathers and media assets.

It was founded with the purpose of movie distribution, and had a very close relation with the biggest studios. In the 1980s Lusomundo started acquiring newspapers, including "Comércio do Porto", "Diário de Notícias" and "Jornal de Notícias". In the early 1990s it acquired TSF Rádio Notícias and minority stakes on TVI.

In 2000, Portugal Telecom Multimédia made a successful takeover of Lusomundo. Since then, Lusomundo was split into two companies with different owners:

*Lusomundo Audiovisuais, which controls the cinema and movie distribution assets
*Lusomundo Media (now owned by Controlinveste), which controls other media assets

Until 2007, the Lusomundo brand was used on four premium subscription television movie channels. Nowadays these channels are named TVCine.
