Main opposition New Democracy spokesman Giorgos Koumoutsakos during his press briefing referred to the TV licences issue and accused Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of depriving the Greek National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV) the responsibility to give licences and transferring it to his government.

The tender for television licenses will be launched within January, Infrastructure, Transport and Networks Minister Christos Spirtzis on Wednesday said in an interview with "Sto Kokkino" radio station.
