The vision of its founder, Manuel DaCosta has solidified Camões TV as the bridge that connects Portugal to the world.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and with a strategic office studio in Vagos, Portugal, the channel reaffirms its commitment to the Portuguese-speaking world daily. Camões TV, broadcast on Canadian television and online, belongs to the communications company MDC Media Group in Canada, chaired by Portuguese Canadian businessman Manuel DaCosta.

It was designed to bring current events, Portuguese culture and traditions to the thousands of Portuguese people living in Canada. The essence of Camões TV lies in its dedication to spreading Portuguese culture and language. Complementing its cultural and historical mission, Camões TV plays a crucial role in promoting the traditions, gastronomy, art, and music of community associations. By giving visibility to these rich expressions, the broadcaster not only strengthens ties within the community but also celebrates its vitality and diversity. More than simply broadcasting content, Camões TV acts as an active voice in promoting and valuing the Portuguese Canadian community. It is a constant commitment to show who the Portuguese are in Canada, their achievements, and their indelible influence in the construction of today's Canada.

The community has contributed and continues to contribute decisively to the country's development. Some of the information content and entertainment programs are produced from the Vagos-Aveiro branch and are broadcast on Canal Q every day for 1 hour, and broadcast on the screens of CP's Alfa Pendular trains, further expanding the reach of Camões TV in Portugal. Here, the dedicated team that drives this mission is made up of Paulo Perdiz, Lisbeth Domingues, Guilherme Ferro, Beatriz Simões and João Semedo, together with the team of colleagues in Toronto, ensuring that the voice of Portugal reaches the world. With its transatlantic presence and multifaceted reach, Camões TV, under the vision of Manuel DaCosta, has established itself as an essential vehicle for the preservation and promotion of Portuguese identity. Whether for those living in Canada or for those in Portugal who yearn to see their culture and language spread beyond their borders, Camões TV is a beacon of Portuguese identity.
