Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have obtained licenses in Turkey by complying with new online broadcasting rules, the country’s broadcasting authority said on Thursday.
In a tweet, Ebubekir Sahin, the head of Turkey’s Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTUK), said: “International platforms Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which broadcast on-demand content over the Internet, have fulfilled their obligations just like local streaming services and received a license from RTÜK. Best wishes.”
The broadcast licenses are valid for 10 years.
The new broadcasting rules in Turkey require online content providers to get a new license and comply with RTUK’s guidelines to continue their broadcast in the country.
