Corfu Channel online - Television live
Corfu Channel Live Stream
Corfu Channel is the local television channel of Corfu, the Greek island in the Ionian Sea, carrying the island's news and programmes in Greek.
The island's channel
The grid is built on local news from Corfu and the Ionian islands, community programmes and coverage of island life: municipal affairs, the tourism economy, events and festivals. National channels in Athens cover the island only when something serious happens.
Corfu and the Ionian islands
Corfu sits at the mouth of the Adriatic, close to the Albanian coast and the Italian heel, and its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island's history runs through Venetian, French and British rule before union with Greece in 1864, which is why its architecture and its musical tradition differ from the rest of the country.
Tourism and the season
Corfu's economy rests on tourism, with the season running from May to October and a population that multiplies several times over in summer. Cruise arrivals, the airport, the roads and water supply are the subjects that occupy the island's newsroom through those months.
Local television on the islands
Greece's island stations work with small newsrooms, local advertising and a stream that reaches emigrants and second-home owners abroad. That online audience is often larger than the local one.
