Hellenic Parliament TV is an institutional agency, as to its character, nature and operation, which fundamentally aims at keeping track of parliamentary activities and bringing cultural events and developments to the attention of the general public. It is an integral part of Parliament agencies, it is accountable to the Speaker and has its own manager.

 

Parliament TV produces, purchases, shows or reruns shows associated with Parliament business and activities, thus promoting democracy overall and parliamentary institutions in particular. It also shows programs on education, science and culture, indicative of the channel’s wish to contribute to an improved citizen education.

 

Parliament TV essentially aspires to both provide updated information to Greek citizens and raise their awareness as what Parliament does and its direct impact on society.

 

Given its mission, Parliament TV primarily offers live coverage of plenary sessions, standing committee sittings (mostly taped), Recess Section sittings and other parliamentary committee sittings.

In addition, to promote culture, Parliament TV shows classical movies, documentaries on history and science, opera, plays and dancing, televised series on great artists, as well as shows on folk traditions and the social history of the country.
