Çukurova Holding, established in 1923, is an industrial and commercial conglomerate based in Turkey. It is engaged in a range of sectors such as industrial, construction, communication and IT, media, transportation, financial services and energy. Çukurova Holding managed its newspapers, magazines and radio stations under TurkMedya, in the Çukurova Media Group, but transferred most remaining media assets to the state TMSF in 2013, in settlement of a tax debt. Çukurova has been involved in litigation since 2005 over part-ownership of Turkcell.
On 18 May 2013 Çukurova Media Group transferred a substantial number of its properties to the state TMSF, in partial settlement of a tax debt. With various media properties closed down in previous years, it leaves Çukurova with few media assets.
Digiturk was incorporated as a digital platform in May, 1999. Digiturk purchases, produces and packages Turkish content. The company also produces television movies and series for Turkmax and owns the rights to most of these productions.
