Halk TV is a Turkish nationwide TV channel established in 2005. It is known for its relationship with the Republican People's Party ( Turkish : Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi , abbreviated CHP), although the previous links were cut off in 2011 under a new CHP leader. [1] [2] The Gezi Park protests brought Halk TV into the spotlight as one of the few Turkish television channels to broadcast live coverage of the events. [3] [2] Because of this, the Turkish TV regulator RTUK (Turkish: Radyo ve Televizyon Ust Kurulu) imposed a fine on Halk TV for "harming the physical, moral and mental development of children and young people". [4]

History [ edit ]

Halk TV was established in 2005 "by former CHP accountant Mahmut Yıldız" [1] and received some funding from CHP. When Kemal Kılıcdaro?lu took over the CHP leadership in 2011, CHP cut its funding, leading to severe financial difficulties for Halk TV. [1] Kılıcdaro?lu also asked CHP deputies and members not to appear as guests on the station. [5] Former Esenyurt Mayor Gurbuz Capan was linked with Halk TV in 2011. [6]

In May 2013 Halk TV was reprimanded by the media regulator RTUK for broadcasting a "most watched" video from YouTube which it said was aimed at humiliating PM Recep Tayyip Erdo?an . [7]

In early 2020, Halk TV was sold to business man Cafer Mahiro?lu. [8]
