ERT is increasing to 9 active transmission centres in the middle frequencies. It almost completely shut down the relay network. Together with the K.E. of Boyatiou, Corfu, and Tripoli, the networks of Megara, Malgara, Souda (already from Tuesday), Rhodes, Zakynthos, and Komotini are also reconnected, as shown in the map below.

Abolishing a previous decision of hers that nearly shut down the entire relay network.
May 29, 2025
One day after the reoperation of the medium wave transmitter of ERT Chania in Souda, the management of public radio and television proceeded with the reactivation, essentially, of its AM relay network. With a decision signed by the CEO of ERT, Konstantinos Papavassiliou, titled “Strategic Plan for National Radio Coverage in the Medium Wave Band (AM), for use in cases of national emergencies,” the active medium wave transmission centres are now increasing to 9.
Specifically, along with the K.E. of Boyatiou, Corfu, and Tripoli, they are re-entering the network there in Megara, Malgara, Souda (already since Tuesday), Rhodes, Zakynthos, and Komotini, as shown in the map below:
Furthermore, with yesterday’s decision, all previous regulations that governed the use of EPT’s medium-wave transmission centres are abolished. Like the one that was made in December 2021, with the signature of the then CEO of the Organisation, Giorgos Gampritsos, who maintained and upgraded only the transmitters in Boyati, Corfu, and Tripoli, and dismantled all the others.
The EPT relay network in the medium waveband suffered a major blow in the previous decade, especially after the “black” of 2013. Not only with the deactivation of the transmitters but also with the looting that followed, as had happened, for example, in Megara where Filia on 666 and EPA Sport on 981 were operating until then.
