RTÜK imposed fines on 7 channels. The statement mentioned sanctions against programs targeting the Turkish family structure.

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) made significant decisions regarding media outlets in its recent meeting. Which channels were fined?

RTÜK imposed maximum administrative fines on channels like Halk TV and TELE1 due to broadcast violations. These fines were issued because the expressions used exceeded the limits of criticism.

Particularly, some expressions used in Halk TV programs were found to violate personal rights and polarize the public. This situation was evaluated as contrary to RTÜK's broadcasting principles.

Additionally, fines were imposed for profane expressions found on some digital platforms. This situation once again highlighted RTÜK's oversight authority.

In conclusion, RTÜK's oversight plays a significant role in influencing the broadcasting policies of media outlets, thereby impacting the public's information.
