CMTV didn’t just win the month of August; they completely dominated it. The channel, part of the Correio da Manhã media group, posted its best-ever monthly results, smashing all previous audience records. It was a performance for the ages, showing a level of consistency rarely seen in competitive broadcasting.
For 41 straight months, CMTV has held the top spot in cable television. This isn’t a fluke; their lead over rivals keeps growing, month after month. Think of a championship team that just keeps extending its winning streak. It’s truly something special to watch.
This winning mentality extends to every single day. As of the end of August, CMTV had won every single day for an astonishing 799 days without a single loss. If they secure another victory on September 1st, that incredible run will hit 800 consecutive daily wins. That’s like an athlete going unbeaten for over two years straight – an almost unbelievable achievement in a tough arena.
The numbers from August tell a powerful story. CMTV reached a new audience share record of 6.8%. Their previous best was 6.6%, set back in May. Even more impressive, they had 153,500 viewers tuned in every single minute of the day. This marks a significant 23.4% increase compared to the same month last year.
What truly highlights CMTV’s dominance is how they stack up against the competition. CMTV alone pulls in more viewers than its three main rivals combined. CNN Portugal finished August with a 2.7% share, while SIC Notícias managed 2%, and RTP-3 recorded 0.9%. Add those three together, and their combined share is 5.6%. That’s still more than a full percentage point below CMTV’s impressive individual tally.
Viewers can find CMTV on channel 8 across all cable platforms. However, it’s worth noting that the channel is not yet available on Digital Terrestrial Television (TDT). All these remarkable results are carefully measured and reported by GFK, the official audience measurement company.
