It’s All Greek To Tim Kash

Tim KashThis weekend the MTV family gets a new addition, and its name is MTV Greece. So this morning, after a nine-hour flight, we touched down in the beautiful city of Athens.

Athens is almost the polar opposite of the hustle and bustle of New York City: The first thing that hits you when you arrive (apart from the abundance of MTV signs all over the airport) is a real sense of calmness and serenity.

It’s all too perfect. As MTV News’ grand poo-bah Ocean MacAdams, resident Greek god Nick Neofitidis and I sit here eating breakfast on the roof of our hotel — with a view that overlooks the city and the magnificent Acropolis — it’s almost too easy to forget that we’re actually here for work.

On Sunday, I’m hosting our big launch party with a concert at the Panathinaikos stadium (a huge soccer arena) in the heart of Athens. R.E.M. and the Kaiser Chiefs are just two of the acts performing on the big night in front of thousands of music fans — all of them gathered to celebrate the launch of our 105th MTV channel.

But that’s on Sunday. For now, it’s all fun!
