ATHENS: Public broadcasting has resumed in Greece, one month after the government pulled the plug on state broadcaster ERT. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The frequencies once occupied by ERT began airing again late yesterday as Greek Public Television (EDT), with a logo in the background. An old Greek movie was aired. The new signal will continue to air old movies and documentaries, but no live programs. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The network serves as a placeholder until the launch of the new Greek public broadcasting network, New Greek Radio, Internet and Television (NERIT), is ready to go on air. NERIT will be a slimmed-down version of ERT, which was shut down by the government in June due to cost-cutting measures that resulted in 2,600 employees losing their jobs. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Press unions are unhappy about the EDT broadcasts, and have called a five-hour work-stoppage to protest against the government’s broadcast of public signals without the participation of former ERT workers. The unions called the broadcast "unconstitutional and undemocratic." <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A bill for NERIT’s establishment is currently being debated at the Parliament. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
