MagentaTV (Greece): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

MagentaTV in Greece is the pay-television service of COSMOTE, the mobile and fixed brand of the OTE group. It was previously called COSMOTE TV and combines paid channel packages, including Nova sports channels and a Netflix bundle. Subscribers use the existing decoder and the operator's streaming platform. As part of the group's Greek rebranding, the service is being renamed MagentaTV, with the transition expected to be completed by early 2027.

OTE is headquartered in Marousi, near Athens, and Deutsche Telekom is its controlling shareholder. The Greek service is therefore run by an EU-based operator with a German majority shareholder. Organisations should check the operator's privacy statement for where viewing data is hosted. For a European organisation, the offer sits within the EU, inside a group structure controlled from Germany.
