Samanyolu owns Ebru TV and the founder of the corporation has been opposed to the government in Turkey for years (the official state channels are also on G19: the TRT networks). That's all I can say about the matter without it going political. If you do a web search, you'll find all you want to know

Thanks, I guess I assumed everyone knew Samanyolu was the parent company of Ebru.
