Antenna, better known as ANT1, is a television network airing in Greece and Cyprus. The alternate spelling is play on words in Greek; ena (ένα) is the Greek number 1 (one), thus ANT1 is pronounced the same as Antenna (Αντέννα).
It launched on 31 December 1989, the same year as rival Mega Channel, and is owned by ANT1 Group. ANT1 had been the most-popular network in Greece for years with its line up of hit series including popular dramas Lampsi and Kalimera Zoi. Programming consists of comedies, dramas, news, current affairs programs, game shows and entertainment shows.
The first broadcast was on 31 December 1989. One of the concept executive producers has been Nico Mastorakis who brought with him several original (for the Greek viewers) ideas after his stay in the United States. Programs like Wheel of Fortune (Greek version), and Oi Men Kai Oi Den were immediately among the top-ten shows in Greece. Cartoons used to be offered in the morning; most were shown in the Greek language.
Antenna also runs Easy 97.2 and Rythmos 94.9 (a local pop-music radio station in Athens), as well as international networks Antenna Satellite (from North America), Antenna Pacific (Australia) and Antenna Europe (from Europe and outside of the Balkans) which broadcast the best of ANT1 programming to audiences abroad. ANT1 has also launched a digital channel, Antenna Gold, that airs programming from Antenna's programming library including many number-one hit shows. It airs in North America via Dish Network.

Got a call
From a friend.
Tried to smile
As I lay in my bed.
All I heard
Where the voices in my head.
Why do you
Have to be
So much more
Then I could hope for me.
Honestly, all I feel is jealously.
And I know that it's wrong
My dreams were at a long
So there's no need to fight this battle every night
Cause I will get there
I have what it takes to survive.
It's over! Glad it's over!
All the doubts and questions in my head.
I'm better off without instead
Now or never, so I just gotta try
To the man I was today I say goodbye.
Tomorrow I will fly, fly, fly.
Watch me fly, fly, fly.
When they talk
When they stare.
It feels just,
Like I'm not even there.
And I say, that I don't really care.
But the truth is that it
Gets to me and it shakes my belief
In myself am what I aim to be
And I know that it's wrong
My dreams were at a long
So there's no need to fight this battle every night
Cause I will get there
I have what it takes to survive.
It's over! Glad it's over!
All the doubts and questions in my head.
I'm better off without instead
Now or never, so I just gotta try
To the man I was today I say goodbye.
And now the finish line
Seems a distant side.
But imma put my eye
On the final prize.
However it longs to takes
I will bend or break, cause this could be, the moment of my life.
It's over! Glad it's over!
All the doubts and questions in my head.
I'm better off without instead
Now or never, so I just gotta try
To the man I was today I say goodbye.
Tomorrow I will fly, fly, fly.
Watch me fly, fly, fly.
Watch me fly, fly, fly.
