Greece shuts down their state broadcasting arm, ERT

vogI cannot confirm whether this will have an impact on The Voice of Greece, but I strongly suspect so.

We will know after midnight in Greece (21:00 UTC) today:

The Greek government has announced that it will shut down the radio and TV services of the state broadcaster ERT.

A government spokesman said transmissions would cease early on Wednesday.

More than 2,000 employees will be suspended until the company reopens “as soon as possible.”

[…]An engineer at the broadcaster’s multimedia department who gave his name as Yannis said: “The government announced that channels will shut down at midnight – after that the screens will go black.

“According to the government, from tonight I will be unemployed. It is a complete shock. In four hours’ time I will not have a job.”

ERT is funded by a direct payment by of 4.3 euros added monthly to electricity bills.

Many thanks to Mike and Andrea Borgnino for the tip!

Update (18:00 UTC): RT has a report worth checking out.  Many other news sources are picking up the story.
