 TRT, Turkey's state-owned broadcaster, plans to launch an international digital platform alternative to Netflix


In his speech at the International Young Communicators Forum, TRT General Manager Prof. Dr. Mehmet Zahid Sobacı declared that an alternative international digital platform to Netflix will be developed in 2023.


Without a question, the Netflix platform has revolutionized global viewing patterns and established a new trend. This tendency produces new generation platforms such as Disney+, Exxen, Gain, and platforms such as BluTV or PuhuTV that renew themselves. Turkey's state-owned broadcaster, TRT is among those who follow this trend.

 

He also mentioned the creation of a young platform. TRT will continue to invest in movies and games, according to Sobacı, who didn’t not provide any specifics about the new planned platform.

 

For the time being, no further information has been provided on this issue, however it is rather simple to put up a digital platform akin to Netflix nowadays. Anyone with a budget may simply accomplish this. The most essential thing is to provide this platform with global content that appeals to everyone and advertise it properly.
