Alter featured popular news anchor Nikos Hadjinikolaou, morning show host Giorgos Aftias and controversial but popular investigative reporter Makis Triantafyllopoulos. Alter also aired the award-winning program Fos Sto Tounel, a program that tracked down missing persons. It also features a strong lineup of children's programming that airs daily. In 2011, Alter dealt with serious economical problems and in early December 2011 it stopped broadcasting due to financial difficulties.

Famous quotes containing the words alter and/or channel:
“I think we ought to be able to alter the whole system—but not by bullying, not because one lot wants what the other has got.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”
—Louise Hart (20th century)
