History
1960s/1970s
In February 1966, a second channel was created by the Greek military forces in order to let the viewer have a choice.It contained news, sports, fashion, music, drama series and more rarely documentaries, films and children programming.Into the first days of its operation, the democracy changed into dictatorship. When the dictatorship died (1974), military left YENED.
1980s
In this decade (1982), YENED renamed as ERT2 and ERT renamed as ERT1. Public broadcasters were the only broadcasters in Greece. ERT2 followed the same programming. In 1987 ERT1 and ERT2 became one company, ERT and the channels rebranded ET-1 and ET-2.
1990s-present
In 1997, ET-2 was restructured as a news and information channel, airing documentaries and sports. It was therefore renamed as NET (Nea Elliniki Tileorasi/New Hellenic Television).
