Skai TV (Greek: ΣΚΑΪ) is a Greek free-to-air television network based in Piraeus. It is part of the Skai Group.[1] It was relaunched in its present form on 1 April 2006 in the Athens metropolitan area, and gradually spread nationwide. In addition to digital terrestrial transmission, it is available on the subscription-based encrypted services of Nova and Cosmote TV.
Skai TV is also a member of Digea, a consortium of private television networks introducing digital terrestrial transmission in Greece. At launch, Skai TV opted for dubbing all foreign language content into Greek, instead of using subtitles. This practice is rarely used in Greece for anything except documentaries and children's programs. After intense criticism, the station switched to using subtitles for almost all foreign shows.
