History

E Channel

E Channel started operating on Wednesday, September 11, 2013, replacing 902 TV, bought by Vrionis. In 2017, the channel was sold to Ivan Savvidis and replaced by Open TV.

AB Channel

The channel operated by Star Hellenic Radio Television SA was initially known as Shop TV, and was owned by Telemarketing. On December 15, 2011, it was replaced with a Greek version of Body In Balance. One year later, it was bought by Kiopra Commercial Ltd.,[1] and journalist Makis Triantafyllopoulos, as programming from the newly established programming block called GR, would take up most of BIB's schedule. The channel, was renamed to Zoom TV on March 19, 2013, and was the main one to host the block, also managed by Triantafyllopoulos, which would be also hosted by local television stations throughout Greece:[2] [3]

His signature talk shows Zougla and Kitrinos Typos would also be featured in the programming block.[4] The main news bulletin was first hosted by Giorgos Karameros, and later, by Giorgos Noulas.[5] The channel was renamed to AB Channel in summer 2014. On June 4, 2018, the channel was replaced with Extra Channel, as New Epsilon TV would start airing from its former frequency.[6] [7] Zoom TV was formerly included on Cosmote TV, on channel 664.[8] The Greek version of BIB is currently available on Cosmote TV.

Programming

The list includes productions by Zoom TV. Most of the shows listed were cancelled in late 2013, with certain shows and presentators moving to Vriones' other stations, Extra Channel and E Channel.[9]
