Still on the air it seems...but the newsreaders are now in casual clothing. In related news, Tele Bruxelles have changed their on-screen DOG to the ERT logo, with the word 'Solidarity' beneath it.

EDIT: Something which I've noticed is they've took down the ERT 1 and NET advertising hoardings from the front of the studio headquarters. They were present last night, however today pictures on Twitter simply show the framework where they were positioned on the building, and not the canvas signs.

Signs present less than 24 hours ago:

This website has some good images with English descriptions to help show the scenes inside the broadcaster:

A monitor that used to show state TV broadcaster in the ERT news room reads in Greek "weak or non existent signal" at the Greek state television ERT headquarters in Athens.

Has to be a first for the EBU to be encouraging effectively illegal broadcasting.

Fab stuff. Really glad the EBU is pushing its weight behind it. Do we know if any of the journalists are leaving the building or are all of the staff physically locking themselves in the building?

There are reports that ERT3 (the local broadcaster for Thessaloniki) has been force closed by riot police, who removed the ERT employees refusing to leave the local studios. Many people speculating that the main Greece headquarters may soon have the same 'heavy handed' treatment.

I'm finding this thrilling! I never thought the EBU would be capable of starting all out war with a government! At most I expected a strongly worded letter but not going to the trouble of rebuilding a PSB in the space of a few hours!

CyBC (Cyprus) are also broadcasting the ERT feed on their website and through their international channel. Not sure if they're showing it on the domestic services as well though I expect they probably are.

NET now taking ARTE Journal from earlier, I assume the only news show of the day.
