Olay TV

Olay TV is a Turkish television channel founded on 19 December 1994 in Bursa by businessman Cavit Çağlar. It is a regional broadcaster whose editorial focus is the city of Bursa and its surrounding region, covering local news, sports (notably Bursaspor), weather, and general current affairs. The channel is associated with the Olay media name, which also appears in the Bursa newspaper Olay Gazetesi, and its online presence is at olaytv.com.tr. In 2020 the channel relocated its base to Istanbul, broadening its reach beyond its original Bursa roots while retaining its regional identity. Its programming includes news bulletins presented by a roster of anchors, and its digital output aggregates breaking news, market data, and local reporting. As a regional Turkish broadcaster, Olay TV competes in a crowded national and local television market. It is not a major national network but maintains a distinct audience in the Bursa area and among the Turkish diaspora online. The channel's history is tied to its founder Cavit Çağlar, a well-known Turkish businessman and former politician.

Olay TV was established on 19 December 1994 in Bursa, Turkey, by Cavit Çağlar. It began as a regional television channel serving the Bursa province and its surrounding areas, with a programming mix centered on local news, sports, and community affairs. The channel's name is shared with the Bursa newspaper Olay Gazetesi, reflecting a broader local media identity. For much of its history, Olay TV operated from Bursa, building a local audience and covering regional events, including the activities of the Bursaspor football club. In 2020, the channel moved its operations to Istanbul, a significant shift that positioned it closer to Turkey's national media center while it continued to report on Bursa matters. The channel maintains an online presence through its website, olaytv.com.tr, which features breaking news, market data, and local reporting. Its news team has included anchors such as Cem Açıkgöz, Dilara Kılıç Özer, Cansu Şimşek, Nur Köşker, Cem Tekel, Evren Aydın, Duygu Demirdağ, Cemile Nur Korkmaz, Ferit Şenocak, Elif Akın, Gülinay Selçuk, and Refik Sarıöz. As a regional broadcaster, Olay TV has navigated Turkey's competitive television landscape, maintaining a distinct focus on Bursa even after its relocation to Istanbul. Its founder, Cavit Çağlar, is a prominent Turkish business figure, and the channel remains part of his media legacy.
