Kontra Channel

Kontra Channel is a Greek private regional television station based in Tavros.

The station started operating in 1994 under the name TeleFOS and was basically the first in Greece with shows around ecology, healthy lifestyle and alternative medicine.

On September 6, 2010 it was renamed Kontra Channel due to a change in ownership.

From the beginning and for a decade, it belonged to the limited liability company Konstantinos Papanikolas and Co. in which the shareholder was the founder of the station Costas Papanikolas, who was also president of the party Ecologists of Greece while previously he was a candidate for the Popular Orthodox Rally in the 2009 Greek legislative election.

On February 6, 2004, Bio-rescue Broadcasting and Ecological S.A. was established, with the distinctive title Telefos - Nea Zoi which re-took over the channel,[1] with its founder taking over as chairman and CEO.
