Talk:Turkish Radio and Television Corporation

indian turk history

Could it be true?
"It is frequently heralded as the most widely respected broadcaster in the world."

I'm sceptical of this claim.

 * So am I, TRT is governments' private TV channel, speaking what President tells to.


 * The claim is patently ridiculous. At best it could be described as "a widely respected broadcaster internationally" (and even then such a claim would be widely disputed) but to claim its THE most widely respected broadcaster (on a par with the BBC) is laughable. Most people outside of Turkey have never even heard of it. 80.229.222.48 22:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Trtlogo.jpg
Image:Trtlogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Turkish Radio and Television Corporation → TRT (Turkey) – The network is widely, even internationally known under its acronym "TRT". The full name is only understood as it is sufficiently descriptive, but is otherwise only rarely used. It should of course remain in a prominent place of the lead. PanchoS (talk) 08:56, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose: per WP:NATURALDIS, how many people are going to be searching for TRT (Turkey)? I'm sure lots will search for TRT and Turkish Radio and Television Corporation but not many adding (Turkey). Natural disambiguation prevents the need for parentheses, and in this case is also the WP:OFFICIALNAME. Ebonelm (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Uncertain: what about Televisora Regional del Táchira ? BBC and RAI are unique internationally English speaking countries recognizable acronyms, but TRT, out of Turkey, and some European countries, for example, in South and Central America ? --Robertiki (talk) 15:50, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Confusing times given, clarification needed
In the subsection Closing and opening times throughout the years, there's a line that reads ''2002: TRT 1 & 2 open 24/7. 3 and 4 open 7:00-0:30''. Does that mean that 3 and 4 both opened somewhere between 07:00 and 07:30, or 3 opened at 07:00 and 4 opened at 00:30, or something else? Please clarify -- Doktor Züm (talk) 17:39, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

Exportation of TRT Series
Hello @Onur, why did you blanked this section. Is it copyrighted or any other reasons? @Mhtbsvr. Joseph (talk) 10:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Just tried to remove Türkiye overrides per WP:COMMONNAME but sudden bot revision blocked me to do it, so I had to revert. OnurT 12:12, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Onur I appreciate your efforts to abide by the commonname usage of Wikipedia and having a track of such an important entry. The aim of my change has a good compliance with Wikipedia purposes when the Wikipedia principle “Article Titles/Commonname” is considered. The principle reads that “When there are multiple names for a subject, all of which are fairly common, and the most common has problems, it is perfectly reasonable to choose one of the others.” I had made an attempt to change the country name use of “Turkey” into “Türkiye” with the same concern as offered by this principle.
 * The United Nations, on June 3, 2022 announced that Türkiye's international country name "Turkey" was changed to "Türkiye" in written mentions. One can reach deeper information by the UN’s website, where it can be seen that UN Secretary-General Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric stated the change of the country name was effective from June 1, 2022. NATO has also accepted the use of the name as Türkiye, as can be found on the organization’s website.
 * Furthermore, some of the world's most consulted English dictionaries, such as the Oxford Dictionary, now offer the word “Türkiye” as an alternative to the invalid use “Turkey”.
 * When we search for the word “Turkey” in the Cambridge Dictonary, which is also a highly consulted dictionary, we come across with the first definiton of Turkey to be an animal, a bird. It is hard to change the native audience’s perception of Turkey as an animal in their language and we must accept that this is the first and foremost meaning that comes to their mind when they encounter the word. Rather, we must distinguish the country’s name and thus, the name of the country should be referred to as “Türkiye”, which has a unique, distinct and primary connotation in native minds.
 * Lastly, let me note that the TRT, which is the subject of the page, also uses the word "Türkiye" on its English channels, such as the international broadcasting channel TRT World.
 * Anyway, I wouldn't call it a kind behavior if all my changes are altered due to a word usage, considering the effort I made for it :) Will repeat the changes if there are no objections. Thanks! Mhtbsvr (talk) 14:03, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
