TVCine is a Portuguese premium television brand used on four movie channels, operated by NOS.
TVCine originally began life as a Portuguese version of the Brazilian premium channels Telecine in 1998, only consisting of two channels at the time.
The channels were eventually fully acquired by the theatrical Portuguese distributor Cinemas Lusomundo (now NOS Audiovisuais) and on 1 June 2003 the channels were rebranded as Canais Lusomundo.
On April 16, 2004, a third channel was launched as Lusomundo Action dedicated to action movies, and in 2005 a fourth channel was added as Lusomundo Happy, dedicated to movies that were more family friendly and more emotional.
With these developments, TV Cabo claimed that the ensemble of the Lusomundo channels had an estimated 250,000 to 270,000 subscribers.
