TELE1 is a news channel that started broadcasting on January 9, 2017. Its editor-in-chief is Merdan Yanardağ. Due to the delay in RTÜK approval, it started using the TELE1 logo instead of the "Kültür Türk" logo on February 4, 2017.

Trustee Scandal

Due to political polarization in Turkey, Tele1 has been one of the most-watched anti-government television channels. However, in October 2025, the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office appointed a trustee to TELE1.
