SuperSport era

It was launched in 1994 as Supersport and at the time was the first premium sports service in Greece.
The SuperSport brand is still prevalent in South Africa as the name is used thereby DStv which is a satellite television provider owned by MultiChoice, the previous owners of Greece's SuperSport as well.
Some events shown on Nova Sports are still taken directly from SuperSport broadcast feeds, complete with SuperSport logos and on-screen promotions. These normally include Golf and Rugby Union matches, and occasionally result in the second audio feed, which usually broadcasts English alongside Greek, broadcasting commentary in Afrikaans.
On 1 June 2008, SuperSport changed its current name to Novasports.
