Gonçalo Reis, President of RTP, added: “The continuation of the distribution agreement in a medium-term perspective allows the two companies to work on large-scale projects. We want both to develop additional forms of RTP content distribution on Meo platforms, enabling innovative user experiences, channels or themes.”
