In this survey has been researched the impact of television music programs on the consumption
behaviors of adolescents in Turkey. Three fundamental points have been concentrated on in the article; these are
consumption of TV music programs, impact of these programs on musical and non-musical/general
consumption. The research samples consist of 110 adolescents between 13 and 16 selected by random sampling
in Bolu province of Turkey. Survey data has been collected through a questionnaire composed of open and
closed ended questions. According to the descriptive statistics of the data, the majority of the adolescents prefer
music channels/televisions broadcasting popular music genres and clips. Roughly the half of the adolescents is
influenced by TV music programs in terms of their musical consumptions. Music programs affect mostly the
behaviors of adolescents such as ‘buying media for listening music’, ‘downloading audio tracks from internet’
and ‘buying CD/VCD/cassettes’. Furthermore, one third of adolescents are influenced by TV music programs in
terms of their general consumptions. Music programs affect mostly the behaviors of adolescents within this
context such as ‘hair styling’, ‘buying magazines’, ‘buying cloths’, ‘buying newspapers’, ‘buying products
bearing images of singers/musicians’, and ‘buying accessories/jewels’. There have been significant differences
among some consumption behaviors in terms of ‘gender’, ‘location of residence’ and ‘employments status of
both parents’, while no significant differences in terms of ‘monthly income’ could be detected.
