Sigma TV is a leading private commercial broadcaster in Cyprus that first hit the airwaves on April 3, 1995. Based in Nicosia, it operates as a fully independent network and specifically targets viewers between the ages of 18 and 45. With a team of about 75 employees, the station brings in an estimated annual revenue of €49.9 million.
What really sets Sigma TV apart is its strong focus on local content. They dedicate about 40% of their programming to homegrown Cypriot productions to support local talent. Their lineup is a balanced mix of these local shows along with international entertainment and popular dramas from Greece and Latin America.

Over the years, the station has produced several iconic shows, such as the long-running soap opera "Se Fonto Kokkino," which aired 735 episodes. Their news department is also a major pillar of the channel, featuring well-known programs like the nightly news "Tomes sta Gegonota" and the investigative series "60 Lepta." These shows have helped the station build a solid reputation for its journalism and current affairs coverage.
