Star TV is a Turkish nationwide TV channel. Owned by Ferit Şahenk, Doğuş Media Group since 2011.
Founded by Cem Uzan and Ahmet Özal in 1989 as Magic Box, Star TV is Turkey's first private TV channel. The channel started its test broadcasting on 5 May 1990. For a brief time in the early 1990s, it was called Star Magic Box because the name Star 1 was copyrighted by another media corporation.
