History

[edit]

NTV Spor, a subsidiary of Doğuş Media Group, was launched as a web portal in June 2006.[2] NTV Spor TV channel was launched on 17 March 2008.[3] The channel started nationwide terrestrial broadcasting on 19 November 2008.[4] In same year, they acquired broadcasting rights of Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, Argentine Primera División, NBA and NASCAR.[4]

In 2010, NTV Spor started to air the 2010–11 season of World Series of Boxing of AIBA, in which a Turkish boxing team named "Istanbulls" also competed.[5] On 24 June 2011, the channel started HD broadcasting.[6]

Following the strategic cooperation agreement between Doğuş Media Group and Discovery Communications signed in 2015,[7] Discovery Communications approached to acquire NTV Spor from Doğuş Media Group, in 2018. Parties agreed terms for the transaction, which was completed in 31 January 2018.[8][9] On 6 March 2018, it was announced that the channel will cease their broadcasting and it will be replaced by DMAX.[citation needed]

The take-over took place at 22:30 local time, right after the credits of "%100 Futbol", the weekly football punditry feature of the channel, which was aired after The Intercontinental Derby game played on 17 March 2018.[10][11]
