Turkish Radio And Television Corporation

Before the introduction of commercial radio in 1990, and subsequently commercial television in 1992, it held a monopoly on broadcasting.

Today, TRT broadcasts around the world, especially in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

The rest of TRT's funding comes from government grants (around 20%), with the final 10 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
