On November 11, 2011, unpaid Alter employees re-occupied the station, taking over the transmission and broadcasting screens with their demands. The workers refused to return to their jobs, not accepting the rescue plan which was presented by the station owner George Kouris, forcing Digea to purposefully downgrade the quality of the station's signal, with further intention to sabotage the unpaid employees attempts to voice their complaints and demands. Alter employees produced and transmitted their own program from January 1 until February 10, 2012, at which point both terrestrial and satellite transmissions ceased. The programme featured interviews with unemployed Greeks, unpaid workers, striking workers of the Greek steel industry, unpaid employees of newspaper Eleftherotypia, economist Dimitris Kazakis (who referred to the imposition of new measures by the government Papademos), the chairman of power company union GENOP, Nikos Fotopoulos, and former broadcast journalist John Kanelakis. Presenters of the show were George Filippakis and Akrivi Kirikos.
