NOS Audiovisuais (formerly ZON Lusomundo) is a Portuguese integrated media corporation founded in 1953, which has major interests in movie distribution, cinema theaters and media assets.
In 2000, PT Multimédia made a successful takeover of Lusomundo.[1] Since then, Lusomundo was split into two companies with different owners:
Lusomundo Audiovisuais, which controls the cinema and movie distribution assets
Lusomundo Media (now owned by Global Media Group), which controls other media assets
Until 2007, the Lusomundo brand was used on four premium subscription television movie channels. Nowadays these channels are named TVCine.
In 2007, PT Multimedia separated from PT Comunicações and became ZON Multimédia and this corporation was renamed ZON Lusomundo, in May 2014 it was renamed NOS, officially retiring the 61-year-old Lusomundo name.
