Skorda signs ANT1 contract after Mega exit

Overview

After Mega cancelled the morning show Buongiorno, presenter Faïa Skorda closed the final episode on June 26 with an emotional farewell. In the weeks that followed, she entered negotiations with ANT1 for a new weekend-midday programme. Early reports suggested the show might follow a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ format, though later indications clarified the deal would not include hosting that specific production. The contract was formally signed on July 27, described as a ‘golden’ arrangement that provides her with a broad slate of projects. This move prompted rival networks, such as Alpha TV, to reassess their programming strategies.

In August, Skorda shared personal updates, including plans to marry architect Alexander Athanasidis and build a new home in the Palaio Psychiko district of Athens. She also used her Instagram platform to urge viewers to donate blood, citing a critical shortage in Greece.

Throughout the summer, Skorda balanced professional preparations for her ANT1 comeback with personal milestones. Following a holiday in Cyprus with her two sons, she and Athanasidis spent time in Chalkidiki to celebrate his birthday. The couple, who have been together for approximately six years, are reportedly planning their wedding for 2026.
