Behind the Scenes: The Disney Era

Many viewers are asking: Who actually owns the station now? Despite naming disputes with the regulatory body RTÜK in early 2025 and a massive rebranding effort, the answer remains clear: NOW TV is still owned by The Walt Disney Company.

Under the leadership of General Manager Cenk Soner, the channel is operationally run by Huzur Radyo TV Anonim Şirketi. For you as a viewer, this means one thing: International production standards meeting local storytelling. Unlike local competitors like other domestic giants, the focus here is heavily on high budget dramas and politically charged news broadcasts.

Reality Check: What’s Airing & What’s Gone?

We need to correct some Wikipedia entries here. The turnover on NOW TV has been extreme in recent months. Many popular formats were axed due to the brutal ratings war (“Reyting”). Here is the definitive status for Winter 2025/2026:

❌ Cancelled or Ended (The Archive)

Do not look for these titles in the live schedulethey are already history:

• Kızıl Goncalar: The celebrated drama starring Özgü Namal ended as planned in April 2025 after two seasons. There will be no third season.
• Yabani: This series bid farewell to the screens in January 2025.
• Leyla: Hayat, Aşk, Adalet: Despite high hopes, the series was cancelled in June 2025 due to insufficient ratings.
• Aşk, Evlilik, Boşanma: A prominent victim of the ratings measurementthis series was axed after only four episodes in December 2024. If you are navigating your own nuptials, check our guide on getting married in Turkey instead of watching the drama unfold on screen.
• Hudutsuz Sevda: Scrapped before the planned third season in September 2025.

✅ Currently Airing (Must Watch)

• Halef: Köklerin Çağrısı: This is the current primetime heavyweight (20:00). If you want to start a new series, this is the show of the moment.
• En Hamarat Benim: While other shows come and go, Kadir Ezildi remains the King of the Afternoon. This popular cooking and cleaning show continues to run successfully. It is perfect for anyone interested in Turkish domestic cultureor if you just want to see who uses the best local ingredients.

❓ In Limbo

İşgal Günlerinde Aşk: Originally planned as a blockbuster for early 2025 with Neslihan Atagül, the project is on ice following her departure (pregnancy). Ay Yapım is searching for a new cast, but don’t expect a premiere anytime soon.

News: The Critical Voice

The real anchor of the channel is not the drama, but the news division. In an often polarized media landscape, NOW TV offers one of the most watched news programs in Turkey.

• NOW Ana Haber (Weekdays): Hosted by Selçuk Tepeli. He is known for his direct commentary and unconventional style.
• NOW Ana Haber Hafta Sonu (Weekend): Presented by economic expert Ozan Gündoğdu. Ideal for understanding the economic context of the week.

Expert Tip: During Ramadan, news broadcast times often shift slightly to accommodate Iftar (breaking the fast).
