Turkey's Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) has imposed multiple sanctions on several media outlets, including Halk TV, Sözcü TV, TELE1, and two digital platforms, for various broadcasting violations. Halk TV received a 10-day broadcasting suspension and a 3% administrative fine due to statements made by a guest on the program "Sinem Fıstıkoğlu ile Sansürsüz." The channel faces potential license revocation if a similar penalty occurs within one year. Sözcü TV was fined 5% and subjected to five program suspensions following controversial remarks by Dr. Murat Kubilay, who stated, "Turkey is not a Muslim country." TELE1 was fined 3% for using derogatory expressions, including referring to a figure as a "coup leader." Earlier, TELE1 was also fined 3% for comments criticizing Manisa Metropolitan Mayor Ferdi Zeyrek. These measures have drawn criticism from opposition figures, including Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavaş, who described the sanctions as an attack on the public's right to information and press freedom. The broadcasting restrictions on Halk TV and Sözcü TV will commence on July 8, 2025.
