The Fenerbahçe-Ferencvaros match was moved at the last minute from TRT1 to TRT Spor by the broadcaster TRT. While the A National Basketball Team's match was aired on TRT1, this decision angered Fenerbahçe fans. Criticisms such as "Standard practice has been disrupted" rose on social media.
The UEFA Europa League match that Fenerbahçe will play against Ferencvaros this evening has been unexpectedly moved from TRT1 to TRT Spor by the broadcasting organization TRT. Yellow-navy fans reacted to the decision, starting a major protest on social media by saying, "European matches have been on TRT1 for years."
TRT'S SURPRISE CHANGE IN MATCH TIMES
In the 5th week of the UEFA Europa League, Fenerbahçe will host Ferencvaros at 20:45. Throughout the season, TRT has broadcasted all European matches of Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe on TRT1, but this time, an unexpected decision was made just hours before the match.
It was announced that the Fenerbahçe-Ferencvaros match would be broadcasted on TRT Spor instead of TRT1.
REASON: NATIONAL BASKETBALL MATCH
The reason for TRT's channel change decision was the A National Basketball Team's match. The 12 Giant Men will face Bosnia and Herzegovina at 21:00 in the World Cup European Qualifiers. It was stated that this critical match would be broadcasted on TRT1.
FENERBAHÇE FANS ARE REACTING
With the announcement of the decision, social media was almost in chaos.
Fenerbahçe fans:
- "The place for European matches is TRT1."
- "Why is this tradition being broken?"
- "TRT Spor doesn't broadcast in rural areas, people won't be able to watch the match."
shared messages to express their reactions.
Fans, especially pointing out that there are access issues with TRT Spor on televisions in rural areas, argued that the change casts a shadow over the broadcast of a Turkish team in Europe.
