History

[edit | edit source]

Founded by Dinç Bilgin of Sabah Group, the channel launched on 12 July 1993.[3][4] The channel changed its ownership to Ciner Media Group in 2002.[1] The Savings Deposit Insurance Fund of Turkey (TMSF) seized the channel in 2007. ATV was acquired by the Çalık Holding's Turkuvaz Media Group at US$1.1 billion on 22 April 2008. It was rumored that the Çalık Holding wanted to sell the channel, and the News Corp. of Rupert Murdoch showed interest in 2012. Following the permission of the Turkish Competition Authority, the Kalyon Group's Zirve Holding, which was founded by Ömer Faruk Kalyoncu with a capital of ₺380 million (US$192 million) on 23 August 2013, acquired various shares of Turkuvaz Group companies from Çalık Holding on 20 December 2013.[5]
