IMC TV (Turkish: İMC TV) was a Turkish nationwide TV channel launched on 1 May 2011.[1] Presenters included Nuray Mert[2] and Fehim Taştekin [tr].[3] In 2011 it hosted a talk show series called Gamurç // Köprü ("Bridge" in Armenian and Turkish) - the first of its kind in Turkey focussing exclusively on Armenian-Turkish relations.[1]
In March 2013 IMC hired Michelle Demishevich, Turkey's first transgender TV reporter.[4]
During the 2013 protests in Turkey, a camera man for IMC was attacked with a tear gas cartridge fired directly at him,[5] and IMC's Gökhan Biçici (editor of Emek Dünyası) was beaten and detained.[6][7]
It was shut down under the emergency statutory decree issued in the aftermath of the 15 July failed coup d'état, alongside 11 other television and 11 radio stations, on 4 October 2016 when police raided the television station's headquarters in Istanbul.[8][9][10]
