Euro D

Euro D is a Turkish private television channel operated by Demirören Media Group, aimed primarily at Turkish expatriates living in Europe. It broadcasts across the European continent as well as in Turkey, and much of its schedule consists of programmes from the flagship Turkish network Kanal D, often aired live. The channel was originally launched in 2005 under the name Kanal D Fun and was later rebranded as Euro D, a name chosen to signal its connection to EuroStar TV, another channel in the same group. Euro D is known for pioneering a concept that many major Turkish broadcasters subsequently adopted: a channel dedicated specifically to Turks in Europe, featuring call-TV games with prizes in euros rather than Turkish lira, and carrying European advertising. Much of that advertising is German, reflecting the large Turkish community in Germany. The channel is available on various European pay-TV platforms, including Freebox TV in France on channel 598 and SFR on channel 819. Its programming includes series, game shows, and general entertainment, with a schedule that mirrors Kanal D's popular output. As part of the Demirören Media Group, Euro D sits alongside Kanal D, CNN Türk, teve2, Dream TV, Dream Türk, and D-Smart. The channel remains active and continues to serve the Turkish diaspora in Europe.

Euro D is a Turkish private television channel that began broadcasting in 2005 under the name Kanal D Fun. It was created to serve Turkish expatriates living in Europe, a large and culturally significant audience, particularly in Germany. The channel was later renamed Euro D, a change intended to establish a visible link with EuroStar TV, another channel belonging to the same media group. Euro D broadcasts its programmes across the entire European continent as well as in Turkey. Its schedule is largely built around programmes from Kanal D, one of Turkey's most popular networks, often transmitted live. The channel is credited with originating a concept that many major Turkish broadcasters later adopted: creating a channel specifically dedicated to Turks in Europe, offering call-TV games with prizes in euros instead of Turkish lira, and carrying European advertisements. Most of these advertisements are German, such as for the brand Knoppers, reflecting the concentration of the Turkish diaspora in Germany. Euro D is part of the Demirören Media Group, which also owns Kanal D, CNN Türk, teve2, Dream TV, Dream Türk, and D-Smart. The channel is distributed on various European platforms, including Freebox TV in France on channel 598 and SFR on channel 819. It remains an active part of the Turkish diaspora media landscape.
