On 10 August 2011, the Radio and Television Supreme Council (“the RTUK”) performed an administrative act requiring the Sabah Yıldızı Radyo ve Televizyon Yayın İletişim Reklam Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi to suspend its broadcasts for the provincial centers of Isparta, Burdur and Kahramanmaraş as the RTUK considered that the broadcasting license belonging to the applicant did not cover broadcasting in the above-mentioned provinces.
Sabah Yıldızı alleged that there had been a breach of Articles 2, 5, 10, 22, 26, 28, 29 and 35 of the Constitution as it was not allowed to broadcast in these provinces and applied to the Constitutional Court.
On July 5, 2017, the Constitutional Court declared the application of Sabah Yıldızı Radyo ve Televizyon Yayın İletişim Reklam Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi inadmissible for being manifestly ill-founded (5 July 2017).
