The Greek National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV) (Greek: ÃÂøýùúàãàüòÿÃÂûùÿ áñôùÿÃÂ÷ûõÃÂÃÂñÃÂ÷ÃÂ, Ethnikó Simvúlio Radhiotileórasis, ESR) is an independent supervisory and regulatory administrative authority of the radio and television market. It was founded in 1989.
It consists of seven members â a President, a Vice President and five members, which are all appointed by the Greek Parliament.
The NCRTV is the main regulator for private and public broadcast media, established by the Law 1866/1989 as an independent authority whose action is only subordinated to the courts. It grants licenses to private radios and TV, and ensures the respect of the law by license-holders. It can impose penalties, up to suspending or cancelling licenses.
The NCRTV has repeatedly been accused of homophobia.
