About Kanal Hayat TV
Kanal Hayat TV is a Turkish private religious television channel headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. Launched in 2006, it is owned by the Hayrat Foundation, a non-profit organization established by Fethullah Gülen, a prominent Turkish Islamic scholar.
The channel is recognized for its conservative religious content, featuring Islamic lectures, sermons, discussions, and news reports from an Islamic viewpoint. Additionally, it offers a diverse range of educational and cultural programs, including documentaries, children's shows, and cooking demonstrations.
While facing criticism for its alleged association with the Gülen movement, Kanal Hayat TV remains operational and maintains a substantial audience both domestically and internationally. It reaches viewers via satellite broadcasts and online streaming platforms.
Tailored to resonate with a conservative religious audience, the channel covers various topics including Islamic teachings, family dynamics, education, cultural aspects, and current affairs.
