NOS Audiovisuais

NOS Audiovisuais—previously known as ZON Lusomundo—is a Portuguese comprehensive media enterprise established in 1953, focusing on film distribution, cinema operations, and various media holdings. It functions as a subsidiary under the NOS group, with its main office located in Lisbon.

While initially concentrating on distributing films, NOS Audiovisuais maintains Portuguese distribution rights for prominent studios such as United International Pictures, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, Warner Home Video, Miramax Films, and DreamWorks SKG. During the 1980s, Lusomundo broadened its portfolio by acquiring print media outlets including Comércio do Porto, Diário de Notícias, and Jornal de Notícias. The 1990s saw further diversification into radio and television through investments in TSF Rádio Notícias and minority shares in TVI.

In 2000, Lusomundo was purchased by PT Multimédia, a subsidiary of Portugal Telecom, which divided the company into Lusomundo Audiovisuais (dedicated to cinema and film distribution) and Lusomundo Media (managing other media assets, now part of Global Media Group). The Lusomundo brand was employed for premium subscription movie channels until their rebranding to TVCine in 2007.

After PT Multimédia's separation from PT Comunicações in 2007, the firm adopted the name ZON Multimédia before transitioning to NOS in 2014, at which point the Lusomundo brand was discontinued. This rebranding initiative reflected NOS's strategic focus on delivering integrated media solutions throughout Portugal's entertainment sector.
