Source-derived summary

Epsilon TV or ETV, in Greek: Έψιλον Τηλεόραση (alternative romanization: Epsilon Tileorasi), is one of the three legal terrestrial TV channels of the region of Central Greece and Euboea, based in the city of Livadeia.

History

Epsilon TV was founded in 1995 by former Minister Aristides Tsiplakos and the productive classes of Boeotia. In 2004, it maintained studios in Athens (Galatsi), and then Chalcis in 2007.

Channel broadcast

Epsilon TV, from 1995 until August 2014 was transmitting in analog from Parnitha (UHF CH22), from Chlomo (UHF CH51), from Profit Elias of Livadeia (UHF CH55) and from Mount Parnassus (UHF CH62). In 2008, Epsilon was approved for digital transmission, together with the two other television stations of the same region (Ena TV and Star Channel). Starting in August of 2014, its digital transmission from Parnitha and from November 2014, converted all its analog transmissions to digital mode. As of 2026, all the three TV channels of Central Greece are transmitting in digital from the Channels 42 and 36 UHF/SFN, to all of Central Greece and Euboea island, including a part of Athens. however, they broadcast with very weak signal, because its transmission from Parnitha is beaming Euboea.

Editorial summary

“Epsilon TV” enters the record as tV station in Central Greece and Euboea Island. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Epsilon, station and Central can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1995, 2004, 2007, 2014—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1995. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Epsilon, station and Central.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Epsilon TV” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Epsilon, station and Central provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5383971. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2004, 2007 and 2014.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
