We are hearing the ERT (Voice of Greece) right now at 2340 UTC June 11 in Spain packing in a powerful signal.

You are right— went on the air at 2100 UTC with just a carrier— came on the air about 45 minutes later—<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest from the English language version of the Kathimerini daily from Athens— PM gambles on ERT closure and EBU expresses dismay on closure —<\/p>\n
