"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".
