However, many journalists at the channel called the move political. They refused to leave the headquarters in Athens and kept broadcasting from the building without pay. The occupation became symbolic in the fight against austerity which in part explains why the newly elected government, Syriza which won on an anti-austerity campaign has been so determined to get the channel back on air. Critics say that the news government was in too much of a hurry and have questioned its draft bill to reinstate ERT, saying that it fails to address previous issues. There is also a legitimate concern over how Syriza plans to fund the state broadcaster and whether the license fee will be enough to rehire the former employees and leave the channel with enough to produce worthwhile content. Friday, April 3, 2015 Discussion of ERT relaunch legislation to start Tuesday The Greek Parliaments public administration committee will on Tuesday begin discussing the draft legislation the government submitted to the House this week foreseeing the reopening of public broadcaster ERT. http://greece.greekreporter.com/2015/04/03/greek-govt-tables-bill-to-reopen-ert/ Greek Govt Tables Bill to Reopen ERT http://greece.greekreporter.com/2015/04/03/greek-govt-tables-bill-to-reopen-ert/ A bill paving the way for the reopening of Greek public broadcaster ERT was tabled by the government on April 1. The draft law was tabled after an Athens court ruled that some 3,000 ERT (Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation) employees were fired illegally in 2013. The court also decided that the 198 former employees who appealed against their dismissals should be rehired immediately. The courts decision comes in complete contrast to the countrys highest administrative court, the Council of State, which found the government was within its rights to close the broadcaster and fire its staff. On June 11, 2013, the Greek government announced ERT would close and all its employees would be fired. The Greek public broadcaster was dissolved by a Common Ministerial Decision as amended by an urgent government legislative act. Despite running a budget surplus on income from a license fee outside the state budget, in a televised statement, the at the time minister responsible for media and New Democracy, PASOK and Democratic Left (DIMAR) coalition government spokesperson Simos Kedikoglou, characterized ERT as a haven of waste that cost more and had fewer viewers than private stations. The Greek people are paying for ERT, which has three times, even eight times, as much staff as it needs he said, adding that the government was sacrificing one of the public sectors sacred cows. Later in the evening, riot police forced their way into the transmitting stations and all ERT transmitters were closed down. Using satellite offices and other spaces that had not been closed down, ERT journalists continued to broadcast to the Internet. ERT consisted of five TV channels ET-1, NET, ET-3, ERT World and ERT-HD as well as seven radio stations in Athens, three in Thessaloniki, 19 peripheral radio stations across the country, a symphonic orchestra and one of modern music as well as a choir. It also had magazines, and a website www.ert.gr, digital archives, web TV at www.ert.gr/webtv, some 2,324 regular employees and 792 provisional workers. - See more at: http://greece.greekreporter.com/2015/04/03/greek-govt-tables-bill-to-reopen-ert/#sthash.1ReCYVo4.dpuf My radio related e-books https://www.scribd.com/collections/7127419/Mini-publications my radio shack: http://goo.gl/MHAHJ1 all my pages : http://delicious.com/gr_greek1/zak
