\"ERT3\"<\/a>In response to my post and recording<\/a> yesterday,\u00a0TheGreekRadio.com<\/a> commented on the current state of the Voice of Greece:<\/p>\n

“After the forceful eviction of the redundant ERT employees from the Radio House in Athens, the shortwave frequencies no longer transmit the normal program of Voice of Greece as there is no such service produced in Athens. \u00a0This happened on the 7th of November, when you probably noticed the station ID change.<\/p>\n

Mediumwave and shortwave frequencies have been now set to relay the radio program of “Radio Station of Macedonia” by the redundant employees of ERT3, from Thessaloniki. (This used to be the independent program relayed for a few hours before\u00a0midnight\u00a0on 7,450 until June’s ERT switch-off, when phone lines were cut and the “guerilla” program started). They keep doing a full program during the day, but being unemployed, it seems that they cannot carry on overnight.<\/p>\n

The official interim public radio (one single service for entire Greece) so far does not care for [the take] over [of] the shortwave and mediumwave resources in Athens. Probably they do not have the staff to operate them, as only the necessary personnel was hired to keep the single radio service running on FM.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks to TheGreekRadio.com<\/a> for this informative explanation.<\/p>\n

Thus it looks like VOG’s shortwave service might be easily cut–and without warning. We already know that the Greek government is considering dismantling the Avlis transmitting site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
