TRT, the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu), was founded in 1964, it is the national public broadcaster of Turkey. Around 70% of TRT's funding comes from a tax levied on electricity bills and a sales tax on television and radio receivers. As these are hypothecated taxes, as opposed to the money coming from general government funds, the principle is similar to that of the television licence levied in a number of other countries. The rest of TRT's funding comes from government grants (around 20%), with the final 10% coming from advertising[1].


Affectionately known to local consumers as the "School", it was for many years the only television and radio provider in the 'Anatolia'. Before the introduction of commercial radio in 1990, and subsequently commercial television in 1992, it held a monopoly on broadcasting. More recent deregulation of the Turkish television broadcasting market produced analogue cable television. Today, TRT is frequently heralded as the most widely respected broadcaster in Turkey and broadcasts around the world, especially in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

TRT's predecessor, Türkıye Radyoları was one of 23 founding broadcasting organisations of the European Broadcasting Union in 1950.
