It is the third terrestrial television station in Portugal, launched on 6 October 1992. It aired the seasons 1-10, including ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', having several breaks in the process.

The channel aired the 10th season from 20 September 2010 to 25 October 2010, showing 2 episodes each day of the week and repeating the 10 episodes shown on workweek in the weekend. Notably, this version had fixed some audio errors in the dub, along with replacing select lines from the original dub with ones of the new actors, which were presumed by the fans to be tests for the new voice cast. Midway through the airing of the 10th season, the channel started a promotion campaign of their new ownership of the series, conducting a contest in which 70 winners would win two tickets to a first-hand premiere of [[DP053]] and [[DP054]] in cinemas. There were two premieres: one in Lisbon (40 winners) and one in Porto (30 winners). Both premieres were held on 23 October 2010, with the winners notified two days earlier.

Like ''Battle Dimension'', the ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]'' season's first two episodes got a promotion campaign for a first-hand premiere on cinema on 19 May 2012.

[[Ash Ketchum]], for example, had no less than ten different voice actors over the years. The first voice actress to dub Ash was '''Maria João Luís''', who stopped doing it regularly after [[EP031]], but oddly did it one final time in [[EP033]]. In addition, she returned for the [[M01|first]] and the [[M02|second]] movies. In [[EP032]], and from [[EP034]] until [[EP094]] '''Sandra Faleiro''' replaced her. Starting from [[EP095]], '''Sandra de Castro''' voiced the character, until [[EP128]]. She reprised the role from [[EP158]] to [[EP209]], [[AG093]] to [[AG177]], and finally, from [[DP001]] to [[DP052]]. During the breaks between Sandra de Castro's returns to the cast, the role was given to '''Alexandra Sedas''', from [[EP129]] to [[EP157]], '''Bárbara Lourenço''' ([[Pokémon: Master Quest|5th]] and [[Pokémon: Advanced|6th]] seasons, along with [[Pokémon Chronicles]]), '''Raquel Ferreira''' ([[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge|7th]] season) and '''Ana Madureira''' from [[AG178]] until [[AG192]]. Two other actresses to voice the character were '''Cristina Carvalhal''' ([[M03|3rd]] and [[M04|4th]] movies) and '''Sara Marques''' (in the [[M07|7th]] movie). With the production being moved to Porto in 2010, the VA was replaced again. '''Raquel Rosmaninho''' took over the role starting from the [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension|11th]] season, being notably the first voice actress since Maria João Luís to give Ash Ketchum the voice in both episodes and movies, all starting from the [[M10|10th]] one.
