«NERIT will have two television channels and some radio stations»
«NERIT will have two tv channels and some radio stations in the country», stated the Deputy Minister of Public Radio-Television, Pantelis Kapsis. Speaking to ANT1 (privately owned tv station), he mentioned that ERT employees will have, like everyone else, the supplementary «employment points» for former experience in a radio-television institution. He also characterised the way of hiring of an employee who now covers the World Athletics Championship on public television a non-issue. During her intervention, ERT employees’ representative Mahi Nikolara commented “same old story”. The same status that the ERT employees had denounced applies now as well, in the way of hiring, even of one person.
The comment by Mr. Kapsis, that the group that has been for two months now in the ERT Building in Agia Paraskevi is affiliated to SYRIZA, has caused an intense reaction by Mrs. Nikolara, who wondered how can the Deputy Minister know the beliefs of the employees and herself. The ERT employees, she added, have been producing a full radio-television programme.
