Religious Programs on Radio and Television in Türkiye: A Longitudinal Evaluation

Abstract

The subject of this research is religious broadcasting on Turkish radio and television. The study’s key issue is whether the duration and rates of religious programs have changed. It has been observed that all of the research conducted on religious programs on Turkish radio and television is cross-sectional; there is no longitudinal study. A longitudinal evaluation was performed in this study using the trend analysis technique. The analysis was based on data from the State Institute of Statistics (SIS) and the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat)’s Radio and Television Institution Statistics. These statistics offer quantitative data on program genres and airing times in radio, television, and radio-television companies. The relevant institutes’ statistics cover the years 1995 to 2015. The study investigates whether religious programs have increased in duration and rate, as well as if the total number of broadcasting organizations and total broadcasting time have an impact on this increase or decline. The duration of religious programs on radio and television declined between 1995 and 1997, grew between 1997 and 1998, then decreased between 1998 and 2002, according to the findings of the study. However, between 2002 and 2015, and particularly since 2011, there has been a steady growth in the total time of religious programs on radio and television, as well as a considerable difference in the percentage of religious programs in all broadcasts.
