Telejornal is the flagship television newscast produced by state-owned public broadcaster Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP).
It is the longest running program in the history of television in Portugal as it has been broadcast daily since 18 October 1959.
The predecessor to Telejornal, Jornal de Actualidades, started its broadcast on 15 February 1957.
The first presenters were Mário Pires and Alberto Lopes, but the choice made by RTP was seen as flawed.
On 31 August 2014, Telejornal broadcast without permission almost three minutes of the Lisbon derby match whose rights were owned by Benfica TV.
