Greek television networks are undergoing scheduling and personnel shifts within their weekend news programming. On Alpha TV, the news program ‘Weekend with Manesis’ is moving to an earlier time slot, airing at 09:15 instead of 09:45 starting October 3. This change follows strong viewership figures, including an average of 16.6% of the total audience during the weekend of September 26 and 27, amid intensifying competition in the time slot. Simultaneously, presenter Maria Antona is transitioning from entertainment to news broadcasting on Mega. She will join the weekend morning news program, ‘MEGA Nonstop’, alongside Zisis Mousios and Vasilis Tsekoura. In an interview with OK! magazine, previous interviews, Antona discussed this professional shift, describing described the opportunity to move from entertainment to news as a “gift.” She noted that her partner, Giorgos Liagas, was initially surprised by the decision but ultimately encouraged her, noting that few people receive such an opportunity. While addressing “gift” and addressed the possibility of working alongside Liagas on screen, Antona maintained with her professionalism, suggesting partner, Giorgos Liagas, noting that while a late-night show might be a more natural fit for them as a duo, such a collaboration would not affect their personal relationship. Antona has since addressed recent public scrutiny and personal matters. She spoke out against criticism regarding her physical appearance, stating that commenting on a woman’s clothing or appearance is problematic and contradicts principles of “equality and female solidarity.” Additionally, she clarified rumors regarding her health, revealing she was hospitalized due to intense abdominal pain, likely from kidney colic. She emphasized that the situation was not as serious as social media suggested and confirmed she has stabilized and returned to work.
