Greece's conservative-led government said
on Tuesday it was closing the country’s state
broadcaster ERT to save money.
The move, which is part of budget cuts
in exchange for a fresh slice of bailout funds,
will result in the possible loss of up to 2,600 jobs.
Simos Kedikoglou, the government spokesman
and a former anchor at the
Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation,
made the shock announcement
that the 70 year old station would stop broadcasting.
He accused the organisation of being
"a haven of corruption and waste" which operated "scandalously".
