TGRT

TGRT (initialism of Türkiye Gazete Radyo Televizyon, 'Türkiye Newspaper, Radio, Television') was a Turkish free-to-air television channel. Launched by İhlas Holding as one of Turkey's earliest private television broadcasters on April 22, 1993, it operated until February 2007 when it was replaced by FOX, whose parent company News Corporation had purchased the broadcasting rights of TGRT on July 25, 2006. The sale, which marked the first time a Turkish television channel was sold to foreign capital, included the broadcasting rights and the terrestrial broadcasting frequencies belonging to TGRT, but not the TGRT branding, which continues to exist as the corporate company name. The sister channels TGRT Haber, TGRT EU and TGRT Belgesel also remain with İhlas Holding.

TGRT EU
TGRT EU is the television channel of TGRT, which was established on December 17, 2004, broadcasting to Turks in Europe. The broadcast schedule of the channel, owned by İhlas Holding, is based on European time.

It was established on the same frequency after the transfer of broadcasting rights of TGRT, the broadcasting company of İhlas Holding, which started broadcasting on April 22, 1993.

TGRT EU; Huzur Radyo TV A.Ş., affiliated with İhlas Holding. It belonged to the company. The sale transaction was carried out on 15 November 2006 and was reported to the stock exchange by İhlas Holding. With this sale, 56.5% of the company was transferred. News Corporation later agreed with the other shareholders of this company and purchased the entire company.

This sale transaction does not include TGRT Haber TV A.Ş., a subsidiary of İhlas Yayın Holding, and TGRT Haber and TGRT FM Radio, which are affiliated with this company.

News Corporation carried out this transaction together with Ahmet Ertegün. The company, known as Ahmet Ertegün's Atlantic Records company, had been broadcasting from the Old Meat and Fish Institution building, rented under the name FOX Türk, since February 2007.

When Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Huzur Radyo TV, which included FOX TV and FOX Türk, could not achieve the success he wanted at that time, he gave FOX Türk back to İhlas Holding. It was closed on July 1, 2009 and FOX Türk transferred its same frequency to TGRT EU. On April 22, 2014, it changed its logo and format and started broadcasting TV series from the TGRT era, as well as European programs. From time to time, it co-broadcasts with TGRT Haber. In 2020, together with TGRT News, its logo was moved from the lower right corner to the upper left corner. In addition, the newspapers and print media of Turks in Europe belong to Türkiye Avrupa and Post newspapers.
