New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television
New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television (Greek: Νέα Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία, Ίντερνετ και Τηλεόραση, abbrev. ΝΕΡΙΤ, NERIT) was the state-owned public broadcaster for Greece from 4 May 2014 to 11 June 2015. Antonis Samaras's coalition government established NERIT to replace the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) in 2013: NERIT began broadcasting under their identity on 4 May 2014, replacing the transitional service Dimosia Tileorasi.
In 2015, the government (by then under Alexis Tsipras as Prime Minister) restored ERT as Greece’s public broadcaster, and NERIT ceased broadcasting on 11 June 2015 (at 6:00 EEST).
History
Background
On 11 June 2013, the Greek government announced its intention to close ERT with immediate effect and to open a new organization entitled NERIT (Νέα Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία, Ίντερνετ, Τηλεόραση - Nea Elliniki Radiofonia, Internet, Tileorasi - New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television). That night, the government started to shut down every transmitter of ERT in Greece. Many employees refused to leave ERT's headquarters at the House of Radio in Agia Paraskevi and continued to broadcast an internet TV channel on Greek, Cypriot and other European media sites. A few days later, ERT's signal was restored on some analogue frequencies in Greece, broadcasting a strike programme from Agia Paraskevi.

Nowhere To Hide
by: Eric Carmen(Eric Carmen)
Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' 'round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
Can the future be foretold
In a faded photograph
Can a dream be bought and sold
Well, I guess I have to laugh
Sippin' on a scotch and soda
A shadow in the corner booth
So philosophic and drunk on grown-up truth
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
Half-forgotten fragments
Of a high school dance
In the dead white hours of winter
When we loved so hard
That we thought it would never end
Tryin' to remember
How it used to feel
When a kiss was something special
And I wonder now
Will it ever be again
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
Lovers come and lovers go
But it's never twice the same
Happiness is hard to show
When you're numb to all the pain
And I've been floatin' round
Like an old newspaper
Blowin' down some windy street
Feeling so alone and incomplete
But there's nowhere to hide
Where the night can't find me
Where the light of the sun can't blind me
Like the light in a woman's eyes
There's nowhere to hide
From the dream that drives me
Like a fire burning deep inside me
Oh, I know she'll be there tonight
