Skai TV is considered a well-established Greek free-to-air television network. It offers a diverse range of programming to its viewers. Based in Piraeus, it is part of the Skai Group and has been serving the Greek-speaking audience since its launch in 2006. Skai TV is available on digital terrestrial transmission, as well as on the subscription-based encrypted services of Nova and Cosmote TV. The network is also a member of Digea (a consortium of private television networks that is introducing digital terrestrial transmission in Greece).
Initially, Skai TV opted for dubbing all foreign language content into Greek, but after facing criticism, the station switched to using subtitles for almost all foreign shows. This approach is rarely used in Greece, where subtitles are typically only used for documentaries and children's programs.
Skai TV's programming includes a mix of news, entertainment, and sports programming, with a focus on providing high-quality content that informs, entertains, and engages its viewers. The network's journalists and producers are dedicated to delivering accurate and reliable news, as well as entertaining and thought-provoking shows that appeal to a wide range of audiences.
