Skai TV

Skai TV is a Greek TV station, based in Pireus, Athens. It is part of the Skai Group, one of the largest media groups in Greece. It was relaunched in its present form on April 1, 2006, in Athens, and gradually managed to spread its coverage nationwide. Besides analogue over-the-air transmission, it is also available encrypted through Nova bouquet via Hot Bird satellite at 13°E. Skai TV is also a member of the Digea consortium, which plans to co-establish (with ERT) Digital TV terrestrial transmission in Greece. Digea has announced that the DVB-T MPEG-4 standard is to be used.

At launch, Skai TV opted for dubbing all foreign language content into Greek, instead of using subtitles. This is very uncommon in Greece for anything except documentaries (using voiceover dubbing) and children's programs (using lip-synced dubbing), so after intense criticism the station switched to using subtitles for almost all foreign shows.
