ERTnews is the Greek public broadcaster’s news-channel identity, supported by a news website with separate live television and radio destinations. Its published offering also includes documentary storytelling. That range brings together two different relationships with time: reporting an event as it develops and recording memories that explain a place or an earlier life.

A special news schedule follows a particular event
ERT’s November 2026 US-election notice describes an ERTnews special-program period from November 2 into the early hours of November 5. It combines studio analysis with reports and connections from the United States, naming correspondents Lena Argyri and Georgia Garantzioti and diplomatic journalist Nikos Meletis.
This is a dated example of the channel reorganizing coverage around a major international event. The notice also differentiates the television output from ERTnews Radio 105.8 and the news website. They share the reporting subject, but are separate television, audio and written-news routes.
For a viewer returning to an election discussion, its edition date and presenter identify the relevant stage of the coverage. A preview of the special schedule establishes what was announced; it does not itself certify a result or replace the dated report.
Istorima works through testimony and place
The announced November 5, 2026 opening of a new Istorima cycle turns toward Mount Olympus and the surrounding region. Its preview includes the grandson of guide Christos Kakkalos recounting the first recorded ascent of Mytikas, a shepherd’s memories, and stories connected with the abandoned village Skoteina, also known as Morna.
These subjects make the documentary’s approach concrete: family testimony, working life and local memory sit alongside the physical landscape. It is a different form from a breaking-news update, even though both belong within ERTnews’s wider factual identity.
The publisher identifies Sofia Papaioannou as Istorima’s founder and editor. The preview is tied to the announced November 5 premiere; it should be read as a description of the forthcoming installment, with its specific people and places retained when looking up the program.
