Cosmote TV

Cosmote TV is the corporate name for two pay television services in Greece, owned by Greek telecommunication operator OTE.

In 1999, it was announced that television station Alpha TV was considering a co-operation with ERT and Greek Telecommunications giant OTE to launch a digital platform.

Despite such plans being approved by the management boards of the said companies in February 2000, they were abandoned in September of the same year, as soon as OTE, which had launched a package of channels through Hotbird,[2] left the project.

The said package would continue transmitting, featuring international themed channels, which were gradually replaced with Greek local ones.

By the end of June 2012, reports say that the subscribers of OTE TV, both satellite and IP customers, had reached a total of 76,345.
