  • A new law (the fourth since the launching of private television 25 years ago), regulating the licensing of content providers of digital terrestrial television, has been passed by the Greek Parliament on 24 October 2015.

    According to this law, ten-year licences shall be granted through an auction procedure to be held by the independent regulatory authority Ethniko Symvoulio Radiotileorasis (ESR). Candidates should meet requirements such as a minimum share capital (which is EUR 8,000,000 for licensees having a licence of national range to broadcast informative/general content), a minimum number of employees (400 for those that broadcast in national range), and technological equipment.
