History[edit]

The name of the network comes from the initials of the words of the phrase Greek Orthodox Ecclesiastical Informative Broadcast (Greek:Ελληνική Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησιαστική Ενημερωτική Εκπομπή) which is also a phrase of the official full name of the company.[5]

The main inspirer of the creation of the ecclesiastical station 4E was the Archimandrite Theofilos Zisopoulos. In 1993, for the needs of this project, he received a degree in journalism. In 1996 he took over the staff of the station and was elected chairman of the board,[6]a position he held for 17 years, until his death in 2013.[7]

In 1998 the station participated in a tender and received a license to operate as a regional television station.[8][9]
