The new Greek public broadcaster NERIT has finally made its debut, barely less than a year after the controversial closure of its predecessor ERT.
According to Greece.com, it went on the air on Sunday, May 4 with a newscast, a Greek and foreign movie and a sports show.
George Prokopakis, its president, said that the main priority was to launch NERIT before elections in order to have balance.
He added that the one-week delay – it was due to make its debut on April 27 – had ben due to procedural reasons and the need to regulate relations with the EBU.
