TPA Notícias is the news channel of Televisão Pública de Angola, created in 2022 to replace TPA Internacional. The channel airs news and current affairs programming.
History The idea for a TPA news channel was first mooted in November 2020, when TPA announced the creation of its first two theme channels, the other being TPA Educa, an educational channel.Deputados criticam falta de qualidade e pouca atratividade dos programas da TPA Internacional
TPA Notícias was announced in May 2022, when it relocated to new facilities. It was initially expected to be operational by 15 July, as a replacement to TPA Internacional; this also led to the plan to merge TPA 2 with Palanca TV to create a cultural and sports channel.Modernização da TPA custou aos cofres do Estado mais de 35 milhões de euros Castings for future presenters were held in June.Angola: jornalista da televisão pública opôs-se “às ordens superiores” e agora teme pela vida The channel started broadcasting on July 18.TPA prepara lançamento do primeiro canal de notícias do país “TPA Notícias”
Shortly after the results of the 2022 elections were made public, journalist Hamilton Cruz, who presented the midnight bulletin (Jornal da Meia-Noite), quit his job. He questioned TPA's administration and was concerned about how TPA was used as a tool of the ruling MPLA administration. The channel has been criticized at launch time by opposition publication Folha 8, which considers it to be an extension of its long-running collaboration with the ruling party.CANAL DE NOTÍCIAS DO MPLA
