Abstract

This article addresses the question of whether a radical change in Turkish broadcasting scene in the 1990s implies a similar trend in broadcasting policy process. Broadcasting
history in Turkey is analyzed in terms of legal-institutional arrangements in order to shed light on basic characteristics of the broadcasting arena and policy process, including the
foctors and actors involved within that process. The analysis reveals the fact that in spite of the impact of worldwide privatization/deregulation movement and the entrance of new
players to the Turkish broadcasting scene, powerful old players still endure and main characteristics of the policy process has not changed much.
