4E TV is a Greek private, partly informative with a purely religious content, television station that broadcasts terrestrially in Central Macedonia and is based in Ampelokipoi, Thessaloniki.[1][2] It was founded in 1993 and started operating in early 1994.[3][4]
History
The name of the network comes from the initials of the words of the phrase Greek Orthodox Ecclesiastical Informative Broadcast (Шаблон:Lang-el) which is also a phrase of the official full name of the company.[5]
The main inspirer of the creation of the ecclesiastical station 4E was the Archimandrite Theofilos Zisopoulos. In 1993, for the needs of this project, he received a degree in journalism. In 1996 he took over the staff of the station and was elected chairman of the board,[6] a position he held for 17 years, until his death in 2013.[7]
In 1998 the station participated in a tender and received a license to operate as a regional television station.[8][9]
In 2007 was licensed to "provide free satellite services" by the Greek National Council for Radio and Television.[8] In the same year it was launched via Hellas Sat 2 satellite for Europe, Apstar 2R[10] for Asia and Optus B3 for Australia via UBI World TV platform.[11][12]
In 2012 it broadcast for a few months in the US, Canada and Central America via the SES-1 satellite.[13][14]
It is claimed that 4E is the first private regional station in Greece to start broadcasting its program digitally from the Chortiatis and Filippio transmission centers on UHF 50[15] on October 30, 2008.[16] However, a few months later the digital transmission was forced to be shut down because the network had not set up a provider as ought to do.[17] In 2012, the network started digitally transmitting its programme again alongside TV 100, Euro and Gnomi through the Digital Broadcast Syndication provider, a consortium set up by the four networks.[18] It has been transmitting digitally through Digea since November 21, 2014.[19][20]
