The EBU were quick to issue this press release:

Now there are reports that ERT transmitters around the country have been closed down in the middle of the broadcast. Apparently they didn't even get to say goodbye properly.

Edit: This livestream still works: http://www.thepressproject.gr/live/44219/Louketo-stin-ERT

The unions have vowed to keep the channels, both TV (three terestrial and one satellite), as well as EPTs radio networks on air, though they haven't specified how.

As I write this, the channels will all be off air (scheduled) in 53 minutes time.

Being discussed here - http://www.tvforum.co.uk/thenewsroom/ert-state-broadcaster-closing-39284/ - this is quite a big story, definitely deserves it's own thread.

Some studio shots taken from the end of tonights ARTE Journal (which was broadcast online on a special stream as it was being shown in Greek).

Anyways at the end of the broadcast instead of cutting to the usual filler, it showed what happens after the bulletin finishes, such as the studio monitors showing the Windows 7 shutdown sequence:

An article in English about the Finnish MTV rebrand. http://www.mtvmedia.fi/en/story.shtml/114244/mtv-media-will-launch-new-mtv-at-the-end-of-2013

It was design by Limefires Media.

Another N24 rip-off........CSTV Business Channel in Taiwan

SBT is celebrating its 32nd anniversary today, so, following the tradition, they got a new graphics package yesterday, though this year it's a refresh of last year's package, keeping the slogan "#Compartilhe" (though the official hashtag for the campaign is actually #SBTCompartilhe).

First, the image promo, based on the idea of "sharing with something else", taking the word "com" ("with", in Portuguese) from the word "compartilhe" ("share"):


Now, the refreshed promos:








And, as a bonus, an image promo from last March, straight from SBT's own YouTube channel:

Next week RTL4, the main commercial channel in The Netherlands, will relaunch. The new logo, an orange 4, is clearly inspired by..., you'll see it for yourself.


The RTL Nieuws will be refreshed by 2014, so was announced on the same day by RTL Nederland.
