The Third Programme (Greek: Τρίτο Πρόγραμμα, Trito Programma) is the third public radio station of Greece's state broadcaster, ERT.
[1] It aired on September 19, 1954, with the initiative of author Dionysios Romas, two years after the founding of the Second Program.
It was initially considered a failure, because it was deemed too childish and as such failed to fit the 'serious' thematology of the station, oriented towards classical music.
However, as it is the only nationwide radio station centered around classic music and culture, it retains a loyal audience.
On March 10, 2014, the Third Programme reopened by Public Radio, a transitional entity, and from 4 May was broadcast from NERIT.
