The Greek Service of the Voice of America has announced that it will soon end its broadcasts, after 72 years of operation.

The final broadcast in Greece will be on Tuesday morning, via SKAI. The announcement came as a result of the significant budget cuts that the news agency has recently carried out.

The Greek Service was one of the original services of the Voice of America, which began broadcasting in 1942. The broadcasting service has since covered international events and developments in the USA, in relation to Greece and Cyprus.
