2000 Today





 
MEGATEXT used to be the most comprehensive of the teletext services, but it has been severely cut back over the past year. Covering several different topics with its clean and clear design, MEGATEXT broadcast the majority of its pages with Latin characters, though a substantial part was with Greek characters. Since March 3rd 2001, however, only Greek has been used. As a consequence, 'News in English' was the first casualty. In a further reduction of service on November 1st 2001, MEGATEXT is now limited to broadcasting just MEGA's programme schedule and the pages from the Athens Stock Exchange.

For a while before November 1st 2001, MEGATEXT's front page warned viewers of the impending reduction in service.

ATTENTION: from 1/11/2001 MEGATEXT will broadcast the following
1. The station's schedule
2. Economy (The Athens Stock Exchange)

A look at the FTSE20 share prices and their movements.

Not a good day for shareholders of Coca-Cola bottler 3E, or two of the mobile phone companies PANAFON-VODAPHONE and COSMOTE.

All prices are listed in the official Greek currency - the euro.

The results from the latest Joker lottery draw. It looks as though no-one won the jackpot, but the two who matched the five balls walked away with nearly 34 million Drx (approximately €99.768) each!

News in English

Until 2nd March 2001 MEGA was good enough to provide an English language news service on MEGATEXT, with brief headlines of national and international news. Sadly but understandably this service is no longer available.

'2000 - Chronia Polla - MEGA'

Broadcast toward the end of 1999 and at the beginning of 2000, this traditional greeting (with what could have been a good rendering of the MEGA logotype) was hidden away on the last page - P899!
