Basketball in The Greek Media
On a daily basis, 16 newspapers in the country publish what is happening in the sport. Although the media's main focus is always on the men's club Greek Championship, they will also report on the lower level divisions like the men's A2 League, as well as the NBA and the other major European national domestic championships like Liga ACB and international competitions like the Euroleague.
Greek television has the ability to broadcast all of the men's Greek Championship games. The men's club Greek Championship has the TV rights to distribute itself on the Greek public broadcaster ERT, the private channel ANT1, and the pay TV station Novasport. Euroleague games are also broadcast on Novasport and the private channel Skai TV. Live broadcasts of the men's national championship and European Cup games are also offered by the country's large number of sports radio stations.

Famous quotes containing the words basketball, greek and/or media:
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
“I lately met with an old volume from a London bookshop, containing the Greek Minor Poets, and it was a pleasure to read once more only the words Orpheus, Linus, Musæus,—those faint poetic sounds and echoes of a name, dying away on the ears of us modern men; and those hardly more substantial sounds, Mimnermus, Ibycus, Alcæus, Stesichorus, Menander. They lived not in vain. We can converse with these bodiless fames without reserve or personality.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
