Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide Page 1 of 4 Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide
Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide Page 1 of 4 Greece: Audio Visual Market Guide Betty Alexandropoulou December 14 Overview The audio-visual (AV) market in Greece is showing signs of recovery after 4 years of double-digit decline for home audio and cinema spending. Retail sales have demonstrated signs of recovering, along with expected GDP growth in 2015. Demand for audiovisual equipment is covered by imports, mainly from European Union countries China, Korea, and Japan. The United States is a supplier of computers and peripherals.. Out of a population of 10.8 million people and 3.7 million households, there is an average of two television sets per household. Ninety-nine percent of these households have access to free broadcast TV, 19.5 percent have access to satellite and IP Pay TV, and 3 percent have satellite internet and pay TV bundled service. Market Trends The end of 2014 is expected to mark the completion of analogue broadcasting and a transfer to digital service. The switchover requires technological upgrades for media outlets, households, and businesses. Within this context, Digea was formed as a network operator providing a digital terrestrial television transmission in Greece for seven nationwide private TV channels (Alpha TV, Alter Channel, ANT1,Macedonia TV, Mega Channel, Skai TV, and Star Channel). In addition to these free nationwide broadcast stations, the network is open to other station broadcasts. With respect to pay-TV, fierce competition between the two main providers (Nova/Forthnet & OTE) resulted in record-high satellite and IP-TV subscriptions as well as the introduction of new channels and relevant content by the two rival platforms. -

To: Dr. Ursula von der Leyen President of the European Commission cc: Ms. Věra Jourová Vice-President for Values and Transparency Athens, 16 April 2021 Subject: Ensuring journalists’ safety and physical integrity in the EU Dear President von der Leyen, Dear Vice-President Jourová, We are writing to you in relation to the brutal killing of the Greek journalist George Karaivaz. It is regrettably another despicable act, which follows the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia in Malta in 2017 and of Ján Kuciak in Slovakia in 2018. Physical threats and violence against journalists have been, unfortunately, on the rise. These crimes can lead to media’s self-censorship and therefore, have a grave chilling effect on freedom of expression, as enshrined in Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Press has a vital role to play in the functioning of a democratic society. Journalists’ public watchdog role is crucial for a democratic society, based on the rule of law. Moreover, it has an instrumental role in ensuring an open and vigorous public debate, thereby reinforcing the public’s trust in our democratic processes. In this regard, we need to do away with the sense of impunity for crimes against journalists. Therefore, we call upon you to use all means at your disposal towards guaranteeing the safety and physical integrity of journalists in the EU. This includes a swift adoption of a Recommendation on the safety of journalists, as outlined in the 2020 European Democracy Action Plan. The Recommendation should have a significant focus on threats against women journalists, who are also increasingly subject to online and offline threats. -
