Olay TV darkened the screen for even a month before it started broadcasting.
Everybody talks about this in the media world. The issue is also on the agenda of the political world. Is society so interested in this development? I’m not sure about that.
Süleyman Sarılar, editor-in-chief of the channel, said that the channel boss Cavit Çağlar told him “I am under great pressure from the government, I cannot continue.”
On these words, the opposition leaders made statements one after another.
The head of the channel, Cavit Çağlar, sent a written statement to the agencies, explaining that the focus on HDP-oriented broadcasts disturbed him.
What’s happening on the Olay TV front, really? Have the ages been pressured by power? Is your partner Hüseyin Köksal close to HDP?
Was there such a crisis due to the political difference between them and Hüseyin Köksal?
Çağlar says I’m looking for a new team, do you have a team in mind?
Will Olay still be on television?
I discussed these issues with Cavit Çağlar.
He told me all the details and what was talked about first hand.
First, I asked the channel’s broadcast director, Süleyman Sarılar, for the statement “Cavit Bey told me that I was under heavy pressure from the government and could not continue.”
“THE BIGGEST JOB WAS LEAVING NURI ÇOLAKOĞLU”
Regarding this statement, Cavit Çağlar said the following:
“Süleyman Sarılar did it wrong. I have not spoken with him for 10 days. There is no such dialogue. But my biggest mistake was leaving everything in the hands of Nuri Çolakoğlu. I gave the content and transmission policy of the channel at the initiative of Nuri Bey. Nagehan. His team, He determined everything. Nuri is an old friend of mine. I love him very much, but his preferences were one-sided. He wanted to establish a central medium. However, ours was no different from the television channels that hold a side and ignore the other. “
“Are you upset with Nuri Çolakoğlu?”
“No, I’m not. Nuri left 15 days ago saying that I finished my work. I have no resentment. Here, my mistake was not striking a balance. For example, when we set up NTV, Nuri Çolakoğlu from the left and Erman Yardelen from the The right wing acted together, balancing each other. The balance of different political ideas should have been reflected. This balance did not exist in this project. “
“WHAT I SEE ON THE PRINT IS TOTALLY A LIE”
“Is it true that you are under pressure from the government, is that why you turned off the screen?”
“Absolutely not, Nagehan. I didn’t see any pressure. I didn’t get a single suggestion. I have a good relationship with everyone. I made the decision to stop broadcasting on my own. Why did I decide to, you know? Because I wanted a central channel to the same distance for everyone. I told my friends too. I said that you will give the speeches of our President, on the other hand, you will be the same distance from all parties. I did not want to separate anyone. For example, I love Meral very much Akşener, he is close to my worldview, but that is why it does not seem right to me to save and dedicate too much space to his speeches. The group calls a small section about the whole publication that the hdp’n group meeting carries out. The data I was very uncomfortable about this. I perceive it as a challenge to your Republic of Turkey. I made the decision not to continue. “
“MY PARTNER IS AN OLD ANAP”
“Was your partner Hüseyin Köksal satisfied with this line? It is said that there is a political conflict between you …”
“Look, this is very incorrect information. Huseyin Bey’s father was a very close friend, a textile manufacturer. He was a good customer. We sold silk together. He passed away. His son told me: ‘Come, let’s build the canal, then We will expand it, we will sell it. ”He came and convinced me. I have just entered the channel business. My partner is close to me in terms of political vision, he is a former member of ANAP. He is not close to HDP. Trabzon, man Nagehan. Is it possible to be near the HDP? “
I asked Çağlar, if you were uncomfortable with the team’s unilateralism, why didn’t you go to the main center balancing the team step by step instead of darkening the screen?
“I wanted to get new names, but this time my partner Hüseyin Bey thought that there would be unrest in the channel and unrest in the team that we are now putting together. We couldn’t do that renovation. When we couldn’t, the result was like this.”
“Well, like İmamoğlu, is your partner Hüseyin Köksal, who is a former member of ANAP and a Trabzon citizen and who invests a lot of money in this project, is he a close name to Ekrem İmamoğlu?
“I don’t know, Nagehan. I don’t know.”
MONDAY IS COMPLETELY END OF THIS ADVENTURE
On Monday all these colleagues would have their money and this adventure would end. I feel sorry for our teammates.
I know that many of them left their workplaces and came here. Nevşin Mengü, who I saw as a guest of İlkan Dalkuç and Nezih Onur Kuru on the 1984 broadcast, was also very excited about the new channel. He said: “We will be the central media, not an opposition or a government, all political and social segments will be on the channel.”
Personally, I don’t want to believe that our friends reject a democratic and liberal renewal in which different points of view are fairly represented. If so, very painful.
It is said that Süleyman Sarılar does not want different political opinions and imposes a one-sided publication, but this does not seem rational to me. Can a person stubbornly request one-sided broadcasts to ensure that their boss closes their channel?
I think it’s a big mistake that Hüseyin Köksal refused to join the team with new names and different opinions after Çolakoğlu left.
As reported in the press, Köksal is a close friend of İmamoğlu, but this attitude is not correct. I don’t know what Mr. Ekrem would say about this job. Will it weaken your hand to have a one-sided Imamoglu channel? I do not know…
But with approaches like Hüseyin Köksal’s, you can’t be a central and conventional medium. There are opposite channels that are almost exactly the same opposite to the channels of power.
“I AM VERY RELIEF”
Will Cavit Çağlar continue his path with a new team? What is the background of your message in this direction?
He also said the following about this:
“I am the person who founded NTV, Nagehan. Olay newspaper has been broadcasting for 35 years. I will not quit the job I started. Of course I will continue, but what happened recently has bothered me, how relieved I am now. I don’t want one. One-wing TV. I washed up, lost money, what happened, I don’t watch them. The important thing is to get out with the fluff on my forehead. When I left, I left. I want to continue with a new, more balanced and fully democratic team that includes to all the games, but I will distribute it for a while. “
RESULTS FROM HERE
I left the results of the Olay TV incident for the next article. What does it mean to be a central medium? What does it mean to be a truly mainstream media? What are the views of both the government and the opposition on freedom of the press and expression? What are the dimensions of the HDP phenomenon in terms of media? In this country, why values such as freedom of expression and social diversity that we should all embrace are being excluded from everyone? I’ll write.
