Cyta was established with the aim of providing, maintaining and developing a comprehensive telecommunications service, both nationally and internationally. Cyta is considered to be the leading provider of integrated electronic communications services in Cyprus. Making the best of the island’s geographical location, Cyta has developed an extensive submarine fibre optic cable network linking Cyprus with neighboring countries such as Greece, Israel, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt and, by extension, with the rest of the world. At the same time, Cyta has also developed an equally impressive satellite earth station infrastructure and all this has justifiably turned Cyprus into a regional telecommunications hub. Cyta provides a broad range of services and facilities which aim to satisfy the ever-increasing needs of its customers for voice and data applications in both fixed and mobile telephony. Particular emphasis is placed on the provision of value added services, such as content/multimedia via the Internet which, by all accounts, will be the dominant business activity of the next decade. Following the liberalization of telecommunications in Cyprus, Cyta faces the challenge of the convergence of telecommunications, information technology and multimedia, as well as that brought about by changes to the social, legal and political environment, especially since Cyprus became a full member of the European Union. Cyta has repositioned itself as a comprehensive/integrated electronic communications provider. The development of broadband and quadruple play services composes the spearhead of Cyta’s strategy. Cyta was the first organization in Cyprus to be assessed in accordance with the excellence model of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) and to be awarded the highest five-star “Recognized for Excellence” ranking. Furthermore, it is the largest organization within the broader state sector in Cyprus to have obtained ISO 9001:2000 Quality Certification.

Sigma TV began operations on 3 April 1995 and has now established itself among the first channels in Cyprus in terms of viewership. Sigma TV has developed distinct infrastructure for the creation and support of local productions, while its television series and shows, together with its news programme define the television station’s identity and comparative advantage. Sigma TV makes the difference with the news programmes “Protoselido”, “Mesimeri ke Kati”, “60 Lepta - Ektaktos” and “Anichti Grammi”. Having a constant flow of information on local and international news updates, the news programme of Sigma TV “Tomes sta Gegonota”, along with the informative TV series of the station, constitute a guarantee for the most reliable and objective overview of world news. From its very first day of operations, Sigma TV sought to be a hotbed for young actors and screenwriters by producing comedy and drama series driven by the high expectations of its viewers. Sigma TV brought to the Cypriot viewers the leading Cypriot daily drama series “Akti Oniron”, as well as the top Cypriot daily sitcom “Sto Para Pente” and the longest-running drama series in the history of Cyprus’ television “Se Fonto Kokkino”. Success continues with new local productions, such as the third season in a row of the series “Efta ourani ke sinnefa alites”, while this year and for the first time Sigma TV has proceeded with Star TV Greece to the coproduction of the drama series “Orkos Siopis”. Moreover, this year, the new entertainment show “Show ke Avlaves” has been launched and has already been embraced by young audience, reaching very high viewing figures.
