Lisbon - Post Report Question and Answers
English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?
Yes. Cable TV with a few channels and hi-speed internet costs as little as 40 Euros a month (and as much as 120, depending on how many channels you want). - Jun 2012
Yes, if you purchase a cable package (about 75 euros per month bundled together with wideband internet and landline phone). One good newspaper that is on-line only (free) and one not-so-good print newspaper (2 euros?) that is out of the Algarve and isn't very relevant to Lisbon. - Oct 2011
With the Internet, you can get all the English language news you need. There is also an English language paper in the Algarve (though it isn't very good).Lots of American TV shows are in English with Portuguese subtitles. You can get BBC News and CNN International in English on cable, as well as ESPN America. - Aug 2011
A couple of weeklies. - Aug 2010
Weekly English paper isn't particularly informative.it's more of a digest of the past week's news. Cable TV has plenty of English language options. - Sep 2008
