The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) imposed a fine on the broadcasting organization due to the airing of inappropriate chants during the Trabzonspor-Galatasaray match broadcast.

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) imposed a penalty on the broadcasting company beIN Sports due to violations that occurred during the broadcast of the match between Trabzonspor and Galatasaray.

OBSCENE CHANTS WERE BROADCASTED

In the examination on the agenda of RTÜK, it was determined that obscene chants made with music in the stadium during the match played on April 4 were broadcasted without any censorship. The clear reflection of the chants made to the tune of the song "Şinanay" drew attention.

It was emphasized that this situation was contrary to broadcasting principles.

A FINE WAS IMPOSED

After the evaluations, RTÜK decided to impose an administrative monetary fine on beIN Sports due to the aforementioned violations.
