History
ANT1 20 Years Channel launched in September 2002 on Nova (Greece's DBS provider) as ANT1 Gold. On September 6, 2007, ANT1 Gold was removed from the NOVA lineup due as the two sides failed to reach an agreement.
ANT1 Gold launched on Dish Network in the United States in the fall of 2006.
On occasion, ANT1 Gold served as an alternate channel for ANT1 Satellite, airing live basketball and soccer matches. When 2 games were scheduled at the same time, one would air on ANT1 Satellite and the other on ANT1 Gold.
In early 2010, the channel was renamed ANT1 20 years The Channel, in honour of the 20th anniversary of ANT1 TV.
On April 27, 2011, ANT1 20 years The Channel was re-branded as 'ANT1 Prime' and the programming was expanded to include live sports as well as extensive music content.
On September 26, 2012, ANT1 Prime was dropped from the Dish Network lineup, the channel subsequently ceased operations.
