Early life

Roula Koromila was born in Athens on February 16, 1957 and comes from Messinia.[1] Her father was a soldier and spent her childhood from city to city while studying as a secretary.[1] She has one brother, Thanasis and one sister, Lena.[1]

Television career

In the mid-80s Koromila began working in public television. From 1989 to 1991 she presented "Mia Kalimera Einai Auti" on ET1.[2] In 1991 she moved to the newly formed channel ANT1, launching the morning show "Proinos Kafes", which enjoyed great success. She presented the show, enjoying high ratings, until 1994, while also launching the first Greek television variety show in 1992, "Ciao Ant1".[3]

In 1994 she terminated her contract with ANT1, and, after a legal dispute with her former channel, moved to rival channel MEGA.[4] There she launched the high-budget variety show Bravo in 1994, which lasted until 2000. The show enjoyed tremendous success, with such guests as Madonna, Ricky Martin and Eros Ramazzoti. The show featured various special seasonal episodes (namely for Christmas Eve and Easter) at various high-profile locales, such as Syros' City Hall and Lycabettus. The show included singing and sketches, among other segments. Concurrently, Koromila presented "Bravissimo" (1995-6) and "E, Nai Loipon" (1997-8). Koromila also introduced the concept of television marathons in Greek television during this period. Among the most notable was the 1996 marathon dedicated to children suffering from brain paralysis. The marathon lasted for 30 consecutive hours, raising 650 million drachmae. To honour Koromila, Cerebral Palsy Greece renamed the hall of the rehabilitation center "Roula Koromila Hall".[5]

In 2001 Koromila moved to Alpha, presenting the morning show "Enteka kai Kati", which was later renamed "Kalos Tous", which lasted until 2004, establishing the channel's morning slot.[4] At the same time, she intermittently presented the show "... Sti Roula", which included such high-profile, exclusive guests as Haris Alexiou, Nikos Karvelas and Sakis Rouvas.[6] For the 2004–2005 season Koromila moved to Star channel to present "Ole",[4] before returning to Alpha in 2006 to launch "3 Euxes", which was later renamed "Zoi san Oneiro".[4] In 2007 she acted as a mentor on "TV Stars: Parousiaste Live", while from 2007 to 2012 she served as programme consultant on Alpha.[4] After overcoming health struggles she returned to Greek TV on April 26, 2010 to present "Greek Idol".[7] The show's premiere enjoyed great success, achieving an overall 34.9% ratings share, while the first fifteen minutes of Koromila's reappearance on-air enjoyed a 43.2% ratings share.[8] On October 3, 2010 she took on the presentation of "Big Brother".[4] In Spring 2011 she presented the second "Greek Idol" season. In 2013 she terminated her contract with Alpha.[9]

On April 2, 2014 she returned to MEGA to serve as a judge on "Just the 2 of Us",[10] while on April 16, 2016 she revived her highly successful show "Bravo", under the title "Bravo Roula" on the newly-formed channel "EPSILON".[11] Koromila unexpectedly ended her contract with EPSILON before the transmission of the final celebratory episode from Syros, citing financial differences and inefficient cooperation with the channel's administration.[12]

Personal life

Panos Michalopoulos was her first husband, with whom he met in 1981, married in 1988 and divorced two years later.[13] In 2000 he married basketball player Nasos Galakteros,[14] with whom he took separate routes seven years later.[15] She is known for her relationship with Italian actor Stefano Sartini, which lasted for six years, but also for a brief relationship with singer Stelios Roccos.[16]

She has been honored with numerous television awards and is known as the national television presenter.
