What it actually is

SIC is commercial television, so the register is conversational where the public broadcaster is formal: chat shows, studio banter and human-interest segments. That makes it useful for the everyday Portuguese that news bulletins never use. Publishes in bursts rather than daily, so treat it as a back catalogue rather than a feed.
