'''Alter Channel''', better known as '''Alter''', was a private TV channel in [[Greece]]. It was launched in 1990 and owned by Eleftheri Tileorasi S.A. and was headed by Andreas Kouris. Alter's programming mainly consisted of news, current affairs shows and entertaining programs.

Alter featured news anchor [[Nikos Chatzinikolaou]], morning show host Giorgos Aftias, and investigative reporter [[Makis Triantafyllopoulos]]. Additionally, Alter also aired the award-winning program ''[[Fos Sto Tounel]]'', which tracked down missing individuals and solved various crimes. The show also featured a lineup of children's programming that aired daily. In early December 2011, Alter stopped broadcasting due to financial difficulties.
