History

The channel in the first period of operation had a long strike and television history. In 2001, with the change of ownership status, its technical equipment is completely changed. In 2006 the station started its first major problems with the consequent closure. Its unpaid employees occupied the station, broadcasting screens with their demands, but the ownership threw black on his signal from the mountains. A few 24 hours later, the channel reopened with a full program. However, in 2008 the ownership again tends to close the station but only for one month, as the channel changed ownership and reopened. [1]

On 2011 for the umpteenth time and several months unpaid employees re-occupied the station until October of that year when reopens fully but with less staff.

On February 3, 2012, becomes the first channel in Patras to start broadcasting digitally, while in December of that year, the remaining employees for the last time re-occupied the station which ceased broadcasting, something that typically happened shortly after his license was revoked. [2]
