Turkish President Approves Law For Non-Turkish Broadcasts
A draft enabling the state-run Turkish Radio and Television Corp (TRT) to broadcast in different languages and dialects other than Turkish, has been approved by Turkish President Abdullah Gul. Under the law, TRT will also be able to employ foreigners.
The law allows the national public broadcaster of Turkey to sign contracts, agreements or protocols with other radio and TV channels broadcasting in Turkey. TRT can sell news reports and video footage to local, regional and national channels.
The prime minister’s approval will be required for contracts, agreements or protocols between TRT and international radio and TV channels.
