"There is a result and we will move forward based on this," State Minister Nikos Pappas said early on Thursday in statements to public broadcaster ERT after the announcement of the State Council's decision on TV licences.

Commenting on the TV licences to radio station Praktorio 104.9 FM, State Minister Nikos Pappas on Tuesday said: “We are awaiting the decisions. Meanwhile, we are moving ahead according as planned. The tender has been completed, and it has brought a larger than expected sum to the state revenues."

The procedure for granting four boradcasting licences continued for a second day at the offices of the General Secretariat of Information and Communications (GGEE) on Wednesday.
