Most powerful Greek Radio transmitter [Rhodes MW transmitter] looted by burglars after having been abandoned.
Destruction of the allegedly most powerful medium wave transmitter of the Greek public broadcasting Service was reported during the Christmas holidays, few days after the power disruption ordered by the administrators of the estate of former ERT who reside in Athens. As reported by the local press, the burglars took advantage of the interruption of transmitions, invaded the transmitter facilities in Kalithea Rhodes and took loot. They stole all precious metal of the transmitter and its facilities, the cost of which exceeds EUR 100,000.
Since the official closure of ERT in June 2013, the redundant workers of public radio of Rhodes, despite not being paid, had undertaken the responsibility to operate the local facilities and the medium wave transmitter, by relaying the program of ERT Open while preserving the safety of equipment. On December 11, the administrator of the estate of former EPT mandated that no electricity should be further provided to any sites of ERA Rhodes. The transmitter was therefore abandoned at the mercy of burglars. Employees were warned that the power outage at the broadcasting site would put off all security systems and the perimeter security lighting.
The medium wave transmitter at 1260 KHz was one of the most powerful transmitters of the Greek radio. This particular device began broadcasting in January 2013, replacing the older transmitter of 1494 kilocycles. The excellent equipment, its proper installation and the use of the old frequency of Voice of America, allowed it to be heard throughout the Mediterranean and around the world, counting reception reports all the way to Japan. It was a big technological capital that was lost because of indifference by central government. Responsibilities are to be seek somewhere between the Ministry of Finance and the new Greek public broadcaster NERIT, as it is not clear if the transmitter was transferred to the new organisation or was left to be exploited by the Ministry.
Apart from the Rhodes transmitter, the mediumwave transmitters of ERA Sport and Filia Radio in Megara and other regional facilities were lost after having been looted in a similar way, whereas the Ministry attempted to sell the metal of the Avlida shortwave transmitter for recycling.
