TV & VIDEO - Sept. 26, 1989

Employees of the Greek state-run television corporation in Athens went on strike Monday to protest a proposed bill establishing private television. The strike, which was to last until 1 a.m. today, was the longest in a series of work stoppages that began Sept. 7 to protest the legislation breaking the state monopoly on television. The government rejected a series of employee demands at a meeting on Monday. Those demands included requiring private television stations to present Greek programs and also the formation of a special council overseeing state and private television and radio.
