Halk TV is a Turkish nationwide TV channel established in 2005. It is known for its relationship with the Republican People's Party (Turkish: Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi, CHP), although the previous links were cut off in 2011 under a new CHP leader.[1][2] The Gezi Park protests brought Halk TV into the spotlight as one of the few Turkish television channels to broadcast live coverage of the events.[3][2] Because of this, the Turkish TV watchdog RTÜK imposed a fine on Halk TV for "harming the physical, moral and mental development of children and young people".[4]
History
Halk TV was established in 2005 "by former CHP accountant Mahmut Yıldız"[1] and received some funding from CHP. When Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu took over the CHP leadership in 2011, CHP cut its funding, leading to severe financial difficulties for Halk TV.[1] Kılıçdaroğlu also asked CHP deputies and members not to appear as guests on the station.[5] Former Esenyurt Mayor Gürbüz Çapan was linked with Halk TV in 2011.[6]
In May 2013 Halk TV was reprimanded by the media regulator RTÜK for broadcasting a "most watched" video from YouTube which it said was aimed at humiliating PM Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[7]
