Antenna, better known as ANT1, is a popular television network in Greece. It is pronounced "Ant-énna" because of the Greek word for "Antenna" (Αντέννα) meaning aerial and "ena" (ένα) for the number 1. It launched on 31 December 1989, the same year as rival Mega Channel and is owned by ANT1 Group. ANT1 has been the most popular network in Greece for years with its line up of hit series including popular dramas Lampsi and Kalimera Zoi. Recently however, MEGA has overtaken ANT1 as the most popular network. Programming consists of comedies, dramas, news, current affairs programs, gameshows and entertainment shows. The first broadcast came on New Year's Eve 1989. One of the concept executive producers has been Nico Mastorakis who brought with him several original (for the Greek viewers) ideas after his stay in the USA. Programs like Wheel of Fortune (Greek version), and Oi Men Kai Oi Den were immediately among the top 10 shows in Greece. Cartoons are offered in the morning. Most of them are shown in the Greek language. Today they are offered only on Weekend mornings, while news-magazine and lifestyle programs such as Studio me Thea are now shown on the weekends. Antenna also runs Antenna FM Athens, which also broadcasts nationally, Rythmos FM (a local pop music radio station in Athens) as well as international networks Antenna Satellite (North America), Antenna Pacific (Australia) and Antenna Europe (Europe, outside of the balkans) which broadcast the best of ANT1 programming to audiences abroad. ANT1 recently launched a digital channel- Antenna Gold, that airs programming from Antenna's programming library including many #1 hit shows. It airs on Nova, Greece's Digital Satellite platform as well as in North America on Dish Network. It also owns a stake in Macedonia TV, a TV station with national coverage in Greece, based out of Thessaloniki, and Antenna FM Thessaloniki, a radio station in Thessaloniki. Programs that were once shown on ANT1 were CBS Evening News from America. ANT1 Satellite News was also shown until the late 1990s.

[edit] Logos
On 17 September 2007, ANT1 launched the new pink logo which also included a new on-screen logo. The logo was more subtle and did not cause the problems mentioned above. On 15 September 2008, ANT1 dropped the pink branding and launched a new look and logo. The logo does not feature the lines above and below the word ANT1.
