Selçuk Tepeli, who has been presenting the Now Main News bulletin on Now TV (formerly known as FOX TV) for approximately 4.5 years, is preparing to bid farewell to his position. It has been learned that Tepeli will present the bulletin for the last time on Friday.
THE REASON IS QUITE INTERESTING
According to backstage information, the decision to part ways was made by the channel management. The reason cited was Tepeli's irregularities in his private life. While no official statement has been made regarding the matter, the decision has resonated widely in media circles.
HE SAID "HELLO" IN 2020
Selçuk Tepeli became the new face of the main news bulletin after Fatih Portakal left FOX TV in 2020. Tepeli first appeared before the audience on September 7, 2020, and quickly received positive feedback from viewers with his screen language and comments. The presenter, who also drew attention with the segment "One Minute with Selçuk Tepeli" within the bulletin, appeared on screens in 2023 with a special program titled "The 18th Hour with Selçuk Tepeli" following the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş.

On the other hand, recently, Fatih Portakal, who was one of the highest-rated presenters of FOX Main News for a time, announced that he had also left Sözcü TV. Portakal's decision raised questions in the media world about whether "a new era in main news presenting is beginning?"
