It also pioneered cable and satellite channels in Portugal, now broadcasting through networks such as SIC Internacional, SIC Notícias, SIC Radical, SIC Mulher, and SIC K. SIC is part of Impresa, a major Portuguese media group. Based in Lisbon, SIC employs a sizable workforce and operates across production and distribution within Portugal's broadcast sector. Within Impresa, the group positions its television operations alongside print and digital activities, contributing to journalism independence and a broad programming portfolio.
