TTVNews celebrates its first 20 years, inviting friends and industry colleagues to share their personal experiences over the past two decades. Kerim Emrah Turna, CEO of MediaHub, answers “where were you 20 years ago?”

This 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of TTVNews, a big reason to celebrate for the group which is consolidating itself as one of the go-to media platforms in the audiovisual industry in Latin America.

And to mark the occasion, we’ve invited friends and colleagues to share their experiences, challenges and lessons learned over the last 20 years in this industry.

This time, Kerim Emrah Turna, CEO of MediaHub, answers “where were you 20 years ago?”

Where were you 20 years ago?

Twenty years ago, I was heading and running my radio station that I have created during my university times. I was actually on a voice, but also the editor-in-chief. So it was a pretty small organization, and it was in its baby steps. We were doing all the things for the radio station. And I’m still in love with radio, and I still miss my radio days. It was too much fun.

What was your first industry event?

I guess it was at MIPTV in 2007. At that time I was in sales, but not only that, I was also working on acquisitions, more acquisitions than sales. So it was in 2007, the first year I attended an industry event.
