THIS IS GREEK RADIO, RIGHT?

In the last 30 years, there have been hundreds of licenses approved to start up radio stations throughout the country.  This can not be more noticeable than in the nomo of Attiki, where there are dozens upon dozens of radio stations (in several languages now also be it), catering to the growing population.

Ironically though, out of the top 25 radio stations in the Attiki area, only 7 have Greek names.  The rest either have English names, or are in Greek-english.

The list of the English named radio stations are:  Sfera, Antenna, Love Radio, Village,Orange, Red, Athens Dee Jay, John Greek, Kiss, Galaxy, Oasis, Nitro, Best, Soho, Rock, Flash, Radio Gold, EPA 2.

The Greek named channels include.  Skai,  Ruqmo, Lamyh, Melwdia, Spor FM,  EPA Spor,  Diesh,

DF: Have any of our readers also noticed the large number of English songs played throughout Greece?
