Media
The BBC says of the country's media:
- Portugal's commercial TV stations command a lion's share of the viewing audience, and provide tough competition for the cash-strapped public broadcaster. The future of public broadcasting has generated heated political debate. The second public TV channel and a public radio network survived closure threats in 2002. Public radio networks are operated by RDP. The Roman Catholic Church owns the widely-listened-to Radio Renascenca.[2]
