Fox (stylized in all caps), is a Turkish free-to-air television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company, a division of The Walt Disney Company EMEA. Since July 2012, the channel broadcasts in 16:9 (1080i HDTV).
History
The channel was originally TGRT (acronym in Turkish as: 'Türkiye Gazetesi Radyo Televizyonu'; Turkey Newspaper Radio Television) and began broadcasting on April 23, 1993, under İhlas Holding. Between 2001 and 2004, TGRT was owned by Tasarruf Mevduatı Sigorta Fonu before being sold again to İhlas Holding.
On July 23, 2006, News Corporation acquired TGRT from İhlas Holding, and was formed by Ahmet Ertegün. The channel was later relaunched as Fox on February 24, 2007.
David Parker Reid was the General Manager of Fox Turkey between 2006 and 2009. David Parker Reid, Hakan Etus, Koray Altinsoy, Doğan Şentürk played crucial role as the most senior executives about the establishment of the Fox channel in Turkey. After David Parker Reid's leave, Pietro Vicari served as General Manager from 2009 to 2014. On November 26, 2014, Adam Theiler was appointed as the General Manager of Fox TV.[1]
In February 2024, the channel will change its name to Now TV.[2] This name was likely chosen due to there being already a TV channel called Star TV in Turkey and the Turkish version of FX still being active.
