The long story of TRT, condensed into these lines, is also the story of nearly a century of experience that shaped Turkey's audiovisual memory. Following the first radio broadcast on May 6, 1927 and the first television broadcast on January 31, 1968, TRT now reaches all 7 continents through 18 television channels, 17 radio channels, and digital platforms in 41 languages and dialects — making it Turkey's internationally impactful broadcasting brand.
A philosophy that places "people" at the heart of broadcasting across all platforms.
Contributing to broadcasting on a global scale through projects that encompass all the highest values of our civilization, TRT has maintained its pioneering presence in every field of broadcasting since its founding.
Beyond television and radio broadcasting, TRT makes significant contributions to wide audiences through national and international events, festivals, collaborations, and award organizations in cinema, global affairs, professional knowledge transfer, children's best interests, support for young broadcasters, and many other notable fields.
While maintaining its position at the top of the ratings race without compromising public broadcasting principles, TRT reaches millions through co-produced cinema projects on world screens, adding prestigious international awards to its achievements.
Diversifying and presenting high-quality, human-centered content to the world, rapidly fulfilling the requirements of digitalization, leading the fight against disinformation — the greatest risk in the field — TRT carries the responsibility of public broadcasting with pride and diligence.
TRT is both Turkey's "memory and its future."
