ERT Cosmos: A New Era for the Greek Diaspora
The landscape of Hellenic broadcasting has reached a significant milestone with
the official launch of ERT Cosmos. This revamped satellite channel, succeeding
the long-standing ERT World, represents a sophisticated strategic shift by
Greece's national broadcaster to bridge the distance between the homeland and
the millions of Greeks living abroad.
A High-Profile Inauguration
The unveiling of ERT Cosmos was marked by a prestigious ceremony that
underscored the channel's cultural importance. In a moment of profound
symbolism, His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew graced the event
with his presence. His participation highlighted the spiritual and cultural
ties that bind the global Greek community. The Patriarch?s blessing served as a
reminder that ERT Cosmos is not merely a television station, but a digital
hearth designed to keep the "Hellenic flame" alive across continents.
Content and Vision
The new programming grid of ERT Cosmos has been meticulously designed to cater
to the diverse needs of the modern diaspora. Moving beyond simple news
rebroadcasts, the channel offers:
-
Premium Fiction: High-quality Greek drama series and cinema that showcase
contemporary Greek creativity.
-
Cultural Documentation: In-depth documentaries focusing on Greek history,
archaeology, and the hidden gems of the Greek landscape.
-
Live News & Analysis: Real-time updates from Greece and the world, ensuring the
diaspora remains informed on national issues.
-
Language & Heritage: Specialized segments aimed at younger generations to help
maintain the Greek language and traditional customs.
Digital Integration and Global Reach
Technological innovation is at the heart of ERT Cosmos. Utilizing the ERTFLIX
international platform, the channel ensures that content is accessible not just
via satellite, but on demand across all smart devices. This "phygital" approach
allows Greeks from Melbourne to New York to engage with high-definition content
that resonates with their identity.
The Impact
By integrating modern aesthetics with traditional values, ERT Cosmos aims to be
the primary link for the "Omogenia." As Greece continues to modernize its
public image, ERT Cosmos stands as a vibrant, 24/7 window into the country?s
soul. With the endorsement of figures like Patriarch Bartholomew and the
support of the Greek state, the channel is set to become the most influential
cultural bridge in the digital age.

UNIDENTIFIED. 790, May 7 at 0648 UT, ID as 106.5 KBBX? I am more sure
of the FM frequency than the call, but hunting thru NRC AM Log and
WTFDA FM Database, cannot find anything fuzzily similar or correlating
these two frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 880, May 7 at 0649 UT, Mexmx dominating, way over KRVN
if any. Condx unseem auroral on other frequencies. Rather then anyMex,
suspect WIJR Highland IL U4 1700/160 or WMDB Nashville TN U1 2500/2,
either of which needing to be on day power, as heard before. Several
minutes later, faded down. BTW, I used to get KHAC Tse Bonito NM,
REL/Navajo U1 10000/430 but not in a long time. The only 880 Mex is
apparently silent XECHEP Chinuahua2 5000/250 Ac?stik (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re: ``15180.51, May 5 at 2202, weak carrier, seems open,
and fading so unlikely local. But no broadcaster listed on 15180 now
in Aoki, EiBi or HFCC. At 2303 into Georgia SDR, an inaudible and
invisible carrier at 15180 synched at +240v Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)``
``May 7 - Voice of Korea - Heard your UNID on the high side of 15180
(frequency variable, seemed unstable), from 1120+ UT, in French, via
KSDR at Bandung; music program // 11735. Aoki database: 15180
1100-1157 KRE Voice of Korea Fre Kujang 1-7 - Ron Howard``

at such a totally different daypart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
