DW is now working with TRT Türk to broadcast “DW ile Avrupa” – a program that delves into German and European politics, business and culture. “DW ile Avrupa” has reports and features produced by DW’s Turkish department and will be aired every Friday, with repeats on the weekend. The show is supplemented by individual segments from DW’s television magazines European Journal, Made in Germany and People and Politics to fully accommodate Turkish audiences’ needs. Moderator Özlem Coskun hosts the show.

Following Polish, Romanian, Albanian, Croatian, Bosnian and Macedonian editions, the Turkish show is DW’s seventh to be produced in its Bonn studios for the central and southeastern Europe target area.

DW’s Turkish department has been on the air for 50 years.
