Alpha Satellite Television S.A,

and Alpha Radio Kronos S.A

The HCC approved the proposed transaction, notified to the Commission on 18.12.2019, consisting in the acquisition of sole control by the company “Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries S.A.”, through its wholly-owned subsidiary holding company “Mediamax Holdings Limited”, over the companies Alpha Satellite Television S.A, Alpha Radio S.A. and Alpha Radio Kronos S.A, even though it falls within the scope of article 6(1) of the Greek Competition Act 3959/2011 (on non media markets) and article 3 of the Greek Law 3592/2007 (on the media market), falls, on the one hand, below the thresholds of article 3(3) of the Greek law Ν.3592/2007, i.e. below 35% in each of the television and radio markets concerned and, therefore, the notifying company may not hold a dominant position in the relevant media markets involved.  On the other hand, the concentration does not raise serious doubts as to its compatibility with competition rules in the relevant markets under article 8(3) of L. Ν.3959/2011.
