After TELE1 TV's General Broadcast Director Merdan Yanardağ was detained as part of a 'spying' investigation, a trustee was appointed to the channel.
TRUSTEE APPOINTED TO TELE1 TV
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office announced that a decision was made to appoint the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) as a trustee for the channel's owner, ABC Radio Television and Digital Broadcasting Inc., as part of the ongoing investigation. It was stated that the decision, issued by the peace criminal court upon the request of the prosecutor's office, transferred the channel's management and financial authority to TMSF.
LIVE BROADCAST INTERRUPTED
Following the decision, the channel's live broadcast was halted. The presenter of TELE1's Main News Bulletin, Murat Taylan, stated live on air, "The committee appointed as a trustee came to our channel. They asked us to terminate the broadcast. Clearly, from this moment on, you will be watching a broadcast under trustee management on TELE1 screens. It is difficult and heavy for me to announce this." The channel then switched to recorded broadcasting.
