More than 10,000 protesters have rallied outside Greece's public broadcasting headquarters in Athens in support of staff who were fired earlier this week.
Former workers at Hellenic Broadcasting Corp, or ERT have occupied the building to continue broadcasts in defiance of the government.
Greece's two largest unions have staged a general strike against the broadcaster's closure.
The protest disrupted public transport and left state hospitals running on skeleton staff, while flights were grounded for two hours.
Rallies were held around Greece, including Thessaloniki, the country's second largest city, where 7,500 gathered, according to police estimates.
The move to close the broadcaster has divided the fragile coalition government.
