Edit: New CEO of Greek public broadcaster NERIT will be Antonis Makridimitris, Professor of Management at the University of Athens. The new public broadcaster of Greece has got into new adventures, as the dismissal of the CEO Giorgos Prokopakis has been announced. He has been accused for the absolute failure to have a "clean start" for the new broadcaster, as in the end the interim governmental service "DT" is extending its operation, with the only difference that the logos and the websites have been slightly tweaked.
Heavy reactions have been prompted by offensive homophobic comments transmitted during the radio show of Wednesday 5 March on Alpha Radio (Athens, Greece) by journalists Dimos Verykios and Dimitris Stavropoulos. They commented a statement by writer Avgoustos Korto, where he said that he is not going to be a candidate in the upcoming elections, reminding that he remains "devoted to his man and his books". It was announced that Verykios will be judged by the Journalists' Union, and he later posted an apology.
A reminder that there are just two weeks left for you to listen to the Czech Republic on longwave, as it is marked for closure at the end of February. The ending of transmissions on 270 will leave a completely empty channel across Europe, presumably for the first time on either longwave or mediumwave since the early days of radio.
Recently, I've noticed that they cut the transmitter for its overnight break without ceremony either at exactly 2300 (sometimes on the very last pip) and sometimes in the middle of the 2300 news. I don't know which
sounds more unprofessional!
One single carrier of the Greek digital channels is ending up to be given a scandalous monopoly, acquired for a ridiculous price through a questionable auction; it will be a consortium of big private channels, which will be managing the nationwide, the regional but also possibly the public frequencies, reserving the right to filter out some content.
The Greek Ministry of Finances agreed with the Ministry of Public Broadcasting to transfer the interim broadcaster, along with the entire personnel under the administration of the new broadcaster NERIT. The employees of the interim broadcaster will remain for a limited time and hand over to the personnel of NERIT which will go on with the program.
