Radyo-4

Radyo-4 is the fourth radio program of the Turkish State Broadcasting Corporation ( TRT ).

history

In 1987 Radyo-4 started its program as the fourth radio network of the TRT. With the establishment of Radyo-4, the three radio networks that had existed since the 1970s (TRT-1, TRT-2 and TRT-3) were renamed Radyo-1, Radyo-2 and Radyo-3 in order to give them more of a name distinguish between the television channels (TRT-1 and TRT-2). The TRT formatted its now four radio channels more strongly with regard to the content and took the step to special-interest programs. In addition to Radyo-1 (word, culture and education), Radyo-2 (news) and Radyo-3 (classical music), Radyo-4 performed Turkish music on October 18, 1987. After the introduction of private broadcasting, Radyo-4 became TRT-fm in 1990 . Because of the competition with private radio, pop music was also broadcast on TRT-fm . In 1998 the TRT decided again to restructure the content of the radio networks. The term TRT-fm was used for Radyo-2 from now on. Radyo-4 got its original name back. Since January 1998 the channel has only broadcast Turkish (folk) music.
