History

TRT 3 started test transmissions on October 2, 1989, as "3. Kanal" or TV3. TV2's reserve transmitters, which were under the jurisdiction of Türk Telekom, were handed over to the new network. TRT 3's transmissions are realized through a time-share with TRT GAP and Turkish Grand National Assembly TV. The latter started test broadcasts on TRT 3's network on January 10, 1995 and became regular on December 11, 1996.
TRT 3's programs mainly consist of sports, education, culture, music and news. Like most TRT channels, advertisements are allowed on this channel. TRT 3 broadcasts programs in different Turkish dialects.
Between 1991 and 2008 for Turksat Kablo TV viewers, Spanish channel TVE Internacional was broadcast after TRT 3's closure. On February 1, 2001, TRT 3 became a sports channel while the TGNA/GAP broadcasts were retained.
