TURKISH RADIO
Turkish-language radio reflects a culture at the crossroads of Europe and Asia — modern Turkish pop and rock share the dial with Anatolian folk, classical Turkish music, and arabesk. Turkey's vibrant radio market includes both national networks and a multitude of local stations across a geographically diverse country.
Turkish radio bridges European and Middle Eastern musical traditions. Arabesk (emotional, dramatic vocal music) and Turkish folk each have dedicated audiences alongside modern pop.
Broadcasting from Turkey, Germany, Netherlands, Cyprus.
