An albanian guy provided me with this text. I'm waiting for more info on the matter. Have a look:
The transmitting antennas for 5 TV stations that broadcast in Greek in southern Albania have been shut down.
However, Omonia, the organization of the Greek minority in Albania, voiced criticism against the Albanian Government. Omonia raised accusations that the Greek-language TV programs watched by the Greek minority have been shut down on purpose.
The Albanian Government's move was condemned also by the Mayor of Gjirokaster and the other local authorities in the region. According to them, the Government suspends the right of Greeks to watch TV programmes on their mother tongue.
The Albanian Broadcasting Council set out a country-wide action for shutting down the TV stations that lack a proper broadcasting license. The Council announced that except for those in south Albania, a number of other TV stations in central part of the country have been closed.
