HellasHab Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 All this talk about this channel coming or that channel maybe coming got me interested in looking at the Greek media landscape. I finally came across an article that layed out pretty much who owns what, not surprising like most countries in the world nowdays, most of the TV channels & radio stations are owned by a small group of companies. I also now know why the guys on the morning show on MEGA always go through the newspapers each day- the people who own MEGA also own newspapers. Anyway, for those interested here is a summary list of who owns what in Greece: D. Kontiminas Alpha TV Alpha 98.9 FM Athens Channel Nine Cosmo TV Palmos 96.5 FM Thessaloniki G. Kouris Alter Channel MAD TV (A. Kouris) MAD Radio (A. Kouris) Orange Radio Love Radio Radio Veronica 97.8 FM Athens (50-50 with Nikos Xatzinikolaou) Minos Kyriakou (ANT1 Group) ANT1 TV ANT1 Gold Makedonia TV ANT1 97.2 FM Athens ANT1 97.5 FM Thessaloniki Rythmos Radio 94.9 FM Athens Banana 104 FM ERT S.A. ET-1 NET ET-3 NET 105.8 FM Athens Deytero 103.7 FM Athens ERA 3 90.9 FM Athens ERA Spor 101.8 FM Athens Kosmos 93.6 FM Athens Teletypos (MEGA Channel) Pegasus S.A. (G. Bobolas) 24.07% Lambrakis Press 22.11% K. Tegopoulos 2.67% Vardinoiannis 10% These are the major shareholders in MEGA channel, the rest of the company is owned by various inverstors. Alafouzou Group Skai TV Skai 100.3 FM Athens Melodia FM 99.2 Athens Red FM 96.3 Athens Angel Radio Vardinogiannis Group Star Channel MEGA Channel (minority share) Soho 89.8 FM Athens Diesi 101.3 FM Athens Greek Media :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolossos Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 uummm I'm pretty sure all morning shows go thru the newspapers to what I've seen... Also I think Alafouzou Group used to own ALPHA before they sold it to Kontiminas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellasHab Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 uummm I'm pretty sure all morning shows go thru the newspapers to what I've seen... Also I think Alafouzou Group used to own ALPHA before they sold it to Kontiminas I think I've seen this on ANT1 too but not the other channels. In any event, I think its stupid and aside from the ownership issue, what is the point of reading newspapers on TV?? Is this done anywhere else or only in Greece?? I am watching TV, if I want to know what is in a newspaper, I will go get one and read it, these guys are very weird?! :blink: Alafouzou Group DID own Alpha back when it was named Skai. I believe they sold it to someone else and then that person sold it to Kontominas, read that somewhere but I could be mistaken. Now they are back again with Skai TV ver. 2.0 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are back again with Skai TV ver. 2.0 :D I have seen the newspapers on both ERT and Alter. They do it to go through all of the current news out there, since different ones have different stories and sources.Also I think that Alafouzou group sold Alpha (SKAI then) directly to Kontominas who renamed is ALPHA-SKY or something, eventially making it into present day Alpha.

likos Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think I've seen this on ANT1 too but not the other channels. Mega does it too, as well as Star and Alpha, in addition to ANT1. It has become a staple of morning shows. Personally, I like it. It's the TV equivalent of hanging by the periptero and reading the front page. :D I actually think that Pasvantidis on Kanali 29 started it. Maybe papadakis was doing it too with just the headlines, but Pasvantidis was the one who started reading articles etc as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
