CMTV aims to expand to other platforms as the exclusivity contract expires. Despite this, it reached the top 30 channels in Portugal and expanded to Angola and Mozambique in 2014.[1]

In late 2015 CMTV reached an agreement with NOS to be available in this subscription TV provider from 14 January 2016. With this agreement CMTV reached over 80% of the paid TV subscribers in Portugal.[2][3]

The channel is the 5th most watched in Portugal.[4]

The channel has been available in Canada since late June 2017 (Bell Fibe TV/Bell).

At the end of April 2022, the CMTV journalist Marta Louro, 27 years old, died during a motorcycle accident while on the way to report the news live.[5]
