In July 2010, Porto Canal launched three new delegations in Mirandela, Arcos de Valdevez and Penafiel, and in the beginning of 2011, three more in Guimarães, Braga and Vila Real.
Porto Canal's contents director, Diogo Faria, received a nine-month suspended prison sentence for violation of private correspondence or telecommunications.
It focuses primarily on news of the northern region of Portugal, having also many diverse programs.
