ERT1 (Greek:ΕΡΤ1, "ERT Ena"),[1] is a Greekfree-to-air television channel owned and operated by state-ownedpublic broadcasterHellenic Broadcasting Corporation (Greek:EPT – Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία Τηλεόραση). It is the corporation'sflagship television channel, and is known for broadcasting mainstream andgeneralist programming, including news bulletins, talk shows, cultural shows,prime time drama, cinema and entertainment, and majorbreaking news, sports and special events.
It was launched on 23 February 1966 as the firstregular television service in Greece. It was launched as a television service of the National Radio Foundation (EIR). In 1970 it was transformed into theNational Radio Television Foundation (EIRT). Then became ERT, ERT1, ENA, and ET1 before being closed by the Greek government in 2013, when it was mainly an entertainment and cultural channel but also broadcast documentaries, news, sports and children's shows. On 11 June 2015, ERT was reopened and the ERT1 name was restored, technically replacing NERIT 1 which had been launched by the previous government in 2014 as part of theNew Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television (Greek:Νέα Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία, Ίντερνετ και Τηλεόραση, abbrev. NΕΡIΤ or NERIT).
The channel launched on 23 February 1966 as part of theNational Radio Foundation (EIR), as the first general television channel in Greece. TED, Armed Forces Television (Τηλεόρασις Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων, ΤΕΔ) orientated towards theHellenic Armed Forces only, went on air four days later on 27 February 1966 (renamed asArmed Forces Information Service (Υπηρεσία Ενημερώσεως Ενόπλων Δυνάμεων, ΥΕΝΕΔ) from 1970).
ERT (Ellinikí Radiophonia Tileórasi) replaced EIRT on 3 December 1975.[2] Colour television was introduced in 1979, using the FrenchSECAM system.[3]
On 3 November 1982, theHellenic Armed Forces relinquished ownership of YENED to ERT. when it was renamedERT2. In 1987, ERT1 and ERT2 were amalgamated into a single company and became ET1 and ET2.ET3 was launched on 14 December 1988 and ET2 became known as NET (New Hellenic Television) in 1997. With the restructuring, ET1 started putting emphasis on local productions and quality entertainment.[4]
On 18 August 2011, the government under George Papandreou proposed to close ET1 and redistribute its programs to ERT's two remaining television channels, NET, and ET3. However, the Greek coalition government (withAntonis Samaras as Prime Minister) abolished ERT entirely on 11 June 2013, resulting in widespread condemnation. ET1 went off air on the same day, but ERT's employees atBroadcasting House kept NET on air, with the assistance of theEuropean Broadcasting Union, who sent satellite retransmission vans to the station's headquarters, via the Internet and as part of the ERT Open movement, until riot police evicted them on 7 November 2013. Employees from the Thessaloniki studio continued to unofficially transmit ET3, also via the Internet and under the same movement, until 11 June 2015.
On 11 June 2015, exactly two years after the closure of ET1, the coalition government withAlexis Tsipras as Prime Minister restored ERT as part of counter-austerity measures. On the same day, ERT1 replaced NERIT1 on its frequencies, which had operated since 2014.
