According to a government spokesperson, the new law definitively ends a long-standing uncertainty in the sector. The bill aims to provide clarity and stability for regional media outlets across Greece. Details regarding specific licensing requirements and procedures are expected to be released following the law’s publication in the official gazette. The move is anticipated to modernize the regulatory landscape for regional television broadcasting.
