Following the July 8 contract extension, ANT1 kept its weekday “Πρωινό” slot (10:00‑12:30), trimmed the budget and added on‑air personalities Taso Tergiakis, Fotini Petrogianni and journalist Nóra Kaouri. A summer‑time bulletin launched on July 20 with anchors Nikos Rogakos and Stefanos Sirkos, alongside the daily “Καλοκαίρι Μαζί” segment. Veteran journalist Sia Kosioni signed a two‑year deal on 16 July to commentate the central news bulletin and host a new informational programme. Recent promotional material for “Kalimerá Elláda” confirms Vasilis Chiotis and Akis Pavlopoulos as co‑anchors, with Kosioni set to make weekly guest appearances every Friday. Regarding the program “Kalimera Ellada,” ANT1 has announced that journalists Vasilis Chiotis and Akis Pavlopoulos will lead the presentation starting Monday, September 7, at 06:00. The production will be led by editor-in-chief Georgia Linardou and director Dimitris Lambropoulos, with assistant editors Natalia Polychroniadou and Dora Georgiadi, focusing on political, economic, and social developments. This transition marks the departure of Giorgos Papadakis from the central presenting team. In broader news programming shifts, Nikos Chatzinikolaou will continue to lead the central news bulletin at 18:45 starting September 7, with Sia Kosioni providing commentary on current events and figures during the broadcast. This follows the departure of Panagiotis Stathis from ANT1 in July, who has since debuted as a presenter for the central news bulletin at ERTnews. Presenter Giorgos Liagas secured a new contract that kept his salary unchanged after demanding negotiations involving proposed budget cuts. On 26 August, Liagas released a humorous trailer to announce the return of the morning show “Proino,” using the pun “Don’t fish around. We are returning! Stronger than ever” to signal the upcoming season. The program will retain Tasos Tergiakis and Foteini Petrogianni following contract renegotiations. ~~Further bolstering the lineup, Dimitris Ungarezos signed a “1+1 years” contract on 8 August to return to ANT1, reuniting him with Liagas.~~
