The Turkish Radio and Television Corporation is the national public broadcaster of Turkey, founded in 1964. Around 70% of TRT's funding comes from a tax levied on electricity bills and a license tax on television and radio receivers.

The rest of TRT's funding comes from government grants, with the final 10% coming from advertising.
