TRT 1
Founded in 1964 and began to test broadcast in 1968, TRT1 is Turkey’s first national channel and was the only TV channel until 1990. With the arrangenments of the 1961 Constitution, TRT was gained autonomous structure with the law established on May 1, 1964 but it lasted until 1972 so it lost its autonomy. After the amendment in 1993, the state authority on TRT was over. Although as a state channel, it should not work with any power group, TRT seemed to take side according to report of Transparency International on election periods.
