GREECE Strike at Voice of Greece has led to their playing nothing but
continuous music, no announcements that I have ever heard, and it's not
the usual Greek music, but mostly classical. Others have reported jazz.
This was first noted here around 0630 UT on 7475 kHz and 1430 UT on 9420
kHz Dec 15 with classical; thought it rather strange.
Also still the case Dec 17 at 0634 with a violin concerto, good on 7475
and 9420, 0636 segue to a Hungarian Dance on violin and piano. At 1433,
9420 had good signal strength but fluttery, now with Broadway music,
1435 UT no announcement, on to Bernstein; only poor on // 15650 at 1443.
John Babbis sends a story from Xinhua:
Violence again erupts during general strike in Athens (2)
09:01, December 16, 2010 [including:]
"Local television and radio channels, Internet news outlets, and the
national news agency also did not broadcast news as journalists joined the
strike along with taxi drivers and lawyers...
I think that this is the Mother of all Greek strikes and is slated to last
all week. I am sure that everybody at ERA5 has walked out, leaving the
Managers to hire strike-breakers with their albums of American music, etc.
The radio employees are also hired by the state.
On November 30, journalists staged a nationwide strike to protest wage
cuts and layoffs. Last week public transport workers struck, leading to
the network grinding to a halt in Athens. This week refuse workers, air
traffic controllers, bank staff, state-television employees and rail
workers are scheduled to strike in separate disputes."
