Abstract

In Turkey, Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) was the one and only institution that has the broadcasting rights until 1990. However, the international impacts of polices regarding deregulation and privitization of media environment has begun to open up a new era in Turkey by the national policies of Motherland Party (ANAP) that started to be in power in early 1980s. Cosequently, within this new era Turkish media scene is subjected to the polorification of new radio and television broadcasters those will be the dominant actors to shape the media sector in Turkey starting from 1990s upto now. This paper aims to trace back the early history of 'private' broadcasting in Turkey by giving particular attention to the dynamics of recently emerging media market. By doing so, the underpinning aspects of media industry of 2000s in Turkey can be better evaluated.
