ANA-MPA - The "Greek Public Television" channel (EDT) is transmitting
a signal on former ERT frequencies as of Wednesday morning. At present,
TV screens are only showing a sign with the name of the channel.
"The dialogue with the former public broadcaster ERT employees remains
open but we must implement the Supreme Court's decision", said Deputy
Minister for Public Radio and Television Pantelis Kapsis, speaking on
Wednesday to private TV Mega and referring to a court decision that said
the country could not remain without public television.
Kapsis said this was a transitional stage, with the new public television
programme coming soon.
He added that the signal is being broadcast from a studio, and that
programmes from ERT's archives will be screened shortly; he also said
job openings for staff would be posted shortly in order for a normal
programme to start.
Government's spokesman Simos Kedikoglou also spoke of a "transitional
programme" when speaking on Wednesday to private TV Ant1.
Meanwhile, in an announcement on Tuesday evening, former ERT journalists
condemned every "attempt to illegally transmit anything outside ERT's
main or regional facilities".
