Greek TV station fined over ‘provocative’ weather forecaster

The Greek National Television and Radio Council (ESR) yesterday imposed a 70,000-euro fine on Star channel after deciding that the TV station’s weatherperson, Petroula Kostidou, was harming the quality of programming and insulting human dignity.

Petroula is a household celebrity, known for presenting the weather in skimpy outfits and gyrating provocatively in front of the cameras.

Star TV was also fined 30,000 euros for dramatizing events in one of its news shows.
