Skorda signs Ant1 contract after Mega exit

Entities: Alpha TV · Faiti Skorda · ANT1

Overview

After Mega cancelled the morning show Buongiorno, presenter Faïa Skorda closed the final episode on June 26 with an emotional farewell and remarks about the five‑year collaboration. The decision drew criticism from industry figures such as designer Lakis Gavalas, who called the shutdown “unfair” and warned of its impact on the channel’s dynamics.

In the weeks that followed, Skorda entered talks with the ANT1 network for a new weekend‑midday programme. On July 27, 2026, she formally signed a contract to host a major infotainment or weekend show, though the exact broadcast slot remains undisclosed. The agreement does not include the local “Dancing with the Stars” project, which is still under consideration. Production personnel confirmed for the upcoming programme include journalist Aris Kavadzikis; other names such as Dimitris Ougarezou and Andreas Mikroutsikos have not been confirmed.

The deal has been described as a “golden” arrangement that will give Skorda a broad slate of projects throughout the year. Rival networks, notably Alpha TV, are re‑examining their programming strategies in response to her return. Industry observers view the contract as one of the most significant shifts in Greek television for the summer season and as part of ANT1’s strategy to strengthen its prime‑time lineup ahead of forthcoming elections.
