Meeting between GenSec Kretsos and four TV channels awarded licences

Arriving for the meeting, SKAI representative Costas Kimbouropoulos expressed his full support for the staff of the channels that were not awarded a licence to continue operating but said, in response to questions, that the prospect of cooperating with other channels was "extremely hypothetical".
The meeting focused on procedural issues in the new broadcasting environment created in the wake of the tender. Kimbouropoulos told reporters that an inspection of the wealth statements of the four channels awarded contracts will be completed by Friday, at which time the list of new television channel owners will be officially posted.
The representatives of the channels asked Kretsos to postpone the first installment of their payment for the licences until after the Council of State's ruling in a request for interim measures made by television channels, in a session to be held on September 16.
They also expressed concerns about a platform the government intends to impose on the management of advertising time, saying that this amounted to state control over a free market.
