This is a list of Turkish television-related events from 2004.
Background
[edit]"By 2004 there were approximately one million Cable-TV subscribers" in the country.[1] Doğan Media Group controlled approximately 40 percent of the broadcasting advertising market.[2] Medya TV, a Kurdish satellite channel, that had been emitting from France since 1999 after having their license (as MED TV) revoked by British authorities, faced the same problem with the French authorities due to alleged links with the PKK; the channel was renamed again and, as Roj TV, started emitting from Denmark from 2004 onwards before repeated Turkish efforts to stop the channel from emitting.[3]
