Koinonía Ora MEGA and MEGA NEWS 104.6 launch

Overview

The morning news program ‘Koinonía Ora MEGA’ underwent a temporary hosting change during the summer period. Journalists Vasilis Tsekouras and Georgina Malliarou took over presentation duties starting August 10 for the final three weeks of summer. During this period, Tsekouras commented on the Greek television landscape, noting that competition remains healthy provided programs do not become overly dependent on minute-by-minute viewership ratings. He also addressed the role of artificial intelligence, suggesting it should serve as a tool rather than a replacement for journalistic judgment.

On August 31, the program returned to its regular format with the original hosting duo, Anthí Voulgári and Iordanis Chasapopoulos. This return occurs amid personal legal developments for Voulgári, who is expected to testify on September 1 regarding a domestic violence complaint filed against her husband, Kóstas Konstantinídis. A court-ordered restraining order currently prevents Konstantinídis from approaching their shared residence.

This television relaunch coincided with the debut of MEGA NEWS 104.6 radio, which commenced a 24-hour programming schedule. MEGA is also expanding its weekend morning news lineup. The new news magazine ‘MEGA Non Stop’, hosted by Zisis Mousios and Vasilis Tsekouras, is scheduled to premiere on Saturday, September 19, airing every Saturday and Sunday at 09:20.

On September 5, the existing program ‘MEGA Weekend’, hosted by Dinos Siomopoulos and Stella Gantona, returned for its seventh season at 05:40. The duo, who have worked together since 2020, celebrated their partnership during the premiere. The program achieved an initial rating of 14 during its morning slot, performing strongly against competing morning programs on other Greek networks.
