Occupy ERT [Greece's PBS]: the revolution will be live-streamed

...in the morning of June 12, 2013 Greece woke up without a public TV channel or public radio, while 2,700 ERT workers woke up unemployed. Ever since, the fired workers of ERT have occupied the station’s headquarters in Athens and have kept broadcasting through live-streaming. That makes ERT the first public television network under workers’ control in Europe, and maybe the first in the world.
Hopefully, their public TV is better than PBS regarding news coverage.
