Germany cancels licence of Turkish TV station
Kanal 7

The licence of a Turkish television station, Kanal 7 INT, broadcasting in Germany, has been cancelled by the country’s media regulation commission.  

A statement released by the Commission for Licensing and Supervision (ZAK) yesterday said the broadcasting institution Euro 7 Television and Marketing GmbH, which runs Kanal 7, had violated broadcasting regulations.
It said the station was no longer capable of preparing its programmes in line with the relevant laws and that it could not afford them financially, either.

The statement also indicated that the company no longer took responsibility for the programmes broadcast on the station and recalled that some of its former managers had received jail sentences.

The Kanal 7 television station was recently accused of being one of the companies that received illegal transfers of money collected as donations by the Deniz Feneri aid organization, and some of its managers were convicted of involvement in the ensuing fraud case.
