Halk TV was penalized for “violating the principle of respecting the right to privacy” due to the broadcast of a phone call with an expert witness on the program “Cause-Effect.” Now TV, SZC TV, and Tele 1 received a 3 percent administrative fine for violating the provision that states, “No one can be declared guilty unless his/her guilt is confirmed by a judicial decision.” This was related to various broadcasts covering the hotel fire in Kartalkaya.
Additionally, Now TV was fined another 3 percent for altering the text of the court’s response and correction concerning news about the Nun Education and Culture Foundation, as well as for reading the text at a faster pace than usual.
Tele 1 also faced a 3 percent administrative fine because comments made following the death of artist Ferdi Tayfur exceeded acceptable criticism.
The program “Survivor,” aired on TV8, was subjected to the maximum fine for allegedly promoting violence.
The anime series “Teen Titans Go,” available on Netflix, was deemed inconsistent with the national and spiritual values of society, resulting in a directive to remove the series from the catalog.
Furthermore, Kanal Ege’s broadcasting license was revoked for engaging in promotion and sales practices that violated public health regulations.
Lastly, the Board reviewed an objection from a broadcasting company named NAM Televizyon ve Reklamcılık regarding the “NOW TV” logo due to trademark similarity and granted the organization 30 days to change the “NOW” logo.
