Armenian TV Station Now Possible in Turkey: Turkey Lifts Limitations
on Broadcasts in Languages Other Than Turkish
15:43 ¢ 13.11.09
A new bylaw in Turkey that lifts time limitations on broadcasts in
languages and dialects other than Turkish entered into force as of
Friday, reports Turkish news agency Anadolu Ajansi.
Provisions of the previous version of the bylaw limited radio
broadcasts in languages and dialects other than Turkish to an hour
each day and a total of five hours per week for radio and up to 45
minutes a day and a total of four hours per week for television.
The previous bylaw required also the translations and subtitles of the
programs on radio and television respectively.
Now private TV stations may broadcast in other languages and dialects
without a special permit, something which was necessary until now,
from Turkey's Television and Radio Organization (RTUK).
Though officially announced in Turkey's parliament today, RTUK made
this revolutionary decision a week ago.
