The Young Turksis broadcast in a two-to-three hour live stream format, which airs Monday through Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The program was originally based out of the living room of creator/host Cenk Uygur, but it moved production to a small office inLos Angelesafter the show hired a limited staff to produce the program. When the program was given a secondary live show on Current TV in 2011, the network provided a larger studio in Los Angeles to house its television and online broadcasts; production was forced to leave the facility after Current TV was sold toAl Jazeera,prior to the network's conversion into the now-defunct generalized news serviceAl Jazeera America.

In 2013,The Young Turks'production staff relocated temporarily to new studio quarters at YouTube Space LA in Los Angeles.[15]In October 2013,The Young Turkslaunched anIndiegogocampaign, aimed at raising $250,000 in order to build a new studio. Fundraising completed with $400,000 being raised.[28]The program moved its production facilities and staff operations to a new studio facilities in Los Angeles later that year, with construction of their new studio being completed in June 2015. In 2017, TYT sought to expand its media network and hire more staff through various venture capital fundraising efforts that raised $20-million.[19][20]

History

Radio program

The Young Turkswas originally developed as a radiotalk showthat was similar in format to a Los Angeles-basedpublic accesstelevision program that Cenk Uygur had hosted, titledThe Young Turk.With the help of friendBen Mankiewicz(with whom he had previously worked), his childhood friend Dave Koller, andJill Pike,Uygur beganThe Young Turksas a radio program in February 2002 onSirius Satellite Radio.[11][18][23]

In 2006, the program received attention for its 99-hour "Live on Air Filibuster," conducted during Congressional hearings for thenominationofSamuel Alitoto theSupreme Court.[18]Hosts includingThom HartmannandJohn Amatofilled in during the event, to allow the show's regular hosts and contributors to rest or take breaks.[29]

Prior to signing a distribution deal to carry the program onAir Americain 2006, the show was broadcast onSirius Satellite Radio,[18]on Sirius Left 143 and later 146, airing weekdays from 6:00 to 9:00 pm. Eastern Time; a day-behind rebroadcast of the program aired on Sirius Talk Central 148 weekday afternoons from 12:00 to 2:00 pm. Eastern. Being carried exclusively on Sirius for several years,The Young Turkswas the first show to air exclusively on Sirius Left that was not distributed through a syndication network.[citation needed]TYT was also carried by KFH (1330 AM and 98.7 FM, nowKNSS (AM)andKNSS-FM) inWichita, Kansaseach weeknight from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.Central Timeandwebcastby RadioPower.org.

On February 2, 2009, TYT was removed from the broadcast schedule ofAmerica Left,a progressive talk channel carried on Sirius/XM Channel 167, and replaced by an additional hour ofThe Bill Press Show.The program returned to Sirius/XM on March 16, 2009. In late 2010, TYT announced through itsFacebookpage that it would discontinue carrying the program on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio; the last edition ofThe Young Turksto be carried on the service aired on November 19, 2010. TYT rejoined Sirius/XM in 2017 with the show being run onSiriusXM Progress.[30]

Web series

Cenk Uygur(top, 2016) andAna Kasparian(bottom, 2016) host the web series.

The Young Turkswas the first daily streaming online talk show, having begun airing in that format in 2006,[23]with an official website on the internet and a channel hosted on YouTube.[18]The show provides in-depth coverage on politics, news topics, current events, and other issues.[12]

In August 2007, Ben Mankiewicz left the show to serve as a contributor forTMZ's syndicated entertainment news programTMZ on TV.[31]At roughly the same time, Jill Pike left to pursue a job inWashington, D.C.Ana Kasparian,then working as an intern for the program, was hired to do pop culture-focused segments. Mankiewicz eventually returned toThe Young Turksas a regular correspondent.

During the2008 elections,the show developed close ties toBrave New Films.The program aired commercials for the independent film production company and featured actors such asRobert Greenwaldand Jonathan Kim as guests.

The success of TYT is due to a large extent of their shift from radio to the internet through the broadcast of programming content on online platforms.[18]Uygur and co-host Kasparian applied a populist left branding and programming strategy that made TYT a successful global online organization, with larger numbers of YouTube subscribers and viewers than several other notable news networks likeFOX,MSNBCandCNN.[32][33]The presence of TYT on YouTube has given the network a platform to democratize production of content and practices associated with its online distribution through an ability to share, comment and like material on its channel.[18]Through likes and shares of TYT content on many online platforms, audience members have become a "virtual word of mouth" expanding the network's reach to other people with similar views and stimulating the growth of the TYT community.[18]

Support by viewers for alternative media outlets like TYT adopting new technology has meant the network was able to overcome being a small sized organization of the traditional alternative media landscape.[18]The emergence of TYT in the digital era has resulted in fewer operational costs regarding organizing and communication.[18]TYT nonetheless has relied on small grassroots financial contributions from its viewers that gave it the ability to emerge as an alternative media organization that does not advocate for the interests of corporations.[18]The financial contributions TYT received went to renting a studio, and to purchase production equipment and furniture.[34]By 2010, TYT employed people and maintained a budget resembling the size of a small newspaper.[35]

On July 30, 2013,The Young Turkslaunched a TYT Networkappon Roku,[36]which features much of the same content that is already available for free through the program's YouTube channel,[18]which has over 4.2 million subscribers and generates 50 million monthly views. The network is among the few online channels to generate more than 1 billion views since launching on YouTube, which does not market a channel on the Roku app store. Young Turks COO Steve Oh acknowledged that making the TYT Network available on Roku was the first part of a strategy to continue the network's growth, regardless of what medium in which its viewers are watching its content, with the intent to figure out a way to monetize its programming through multiple distribution channels, rather than relying on one or two larger channels (such as YouTube or cable television distribution). The network also announced plans to unveil native apps foriOSandAndroiddevices. Oh also noted that the network's representatives were speaking with other media platforms about expanding its programming.

In April 2014,The Young Turksbegan offering its content onHulu.With this, it began providing a condensed 30-minute version of the program featuring excerpts from the full two-hour daily show, along with a 30-minute weekly version of its daily pop-culture showPopTrigger,with other shows being added shortly afterward. Oh stated on the Hulu launch that, "as TYT Network has grown from a single show to an entire network, we've consistently found ways to bring our shows to more people[..] We've long admired Hulu as a leader of online video and both parties saw an opportunity to bring digitally-native politics and pop culture talk shows to Hulu's audience." He also stated that the company is pitching shows to cable network, but had no immediate plans to revive a television broadcast as either a relaunched program or a show similar in format to the one it formerly produced for Current TV.[37]

The website's yearly revenue was roughly US$3 million in 2013. According to Cenk Uygur, "about a third of the revenue comes from subscriptions, and the rest comes from YouTube ads." At that time, the company maintained a staff of 30 employees.[38]In 2014, the company received a US$4 million investment from Roemer, Robinson, Melville & Co., LLC, aprivate equity firmled by Republican former Louisiana GovernorBuddy Roemer.[39]In December 2016, TYT Network launched a crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise US$2 million for the hiring of four further investigative teams.[40]Five months later, the aim was met.[41]In August 2017, it was announced that The Young Turks have raised $20 million in venture-capital from 3L Capital, WndrCo (owned by businessmanJeffrey Katzenberg),[42][19][20]Greycroft,ande.ventures.TYT stated it would use the funds to "hire additional management execs and creative talent, as well as enhance its subscription-video offering and expand marketing initiatives". Shawn Colo, managing partner of 3L Capital, joined the TYT Network's board.[42][19][20]

TYT operates under a strategy of diversifying its finances that involves the airing of socially responsible advertisements, offering subscriptions for TYT membership, selling its own merchandise and other investments.[14]Among its advertising partners is Aspiration Bank, an organization involved in "socially conscious and sustainable banking services" and whom TYT presents as different from other banks and their fossil fuel and campaign financing investments.[14]Due to popular demand from viewers, TYT established an online outlet selling its own label branded merchandise, such as t-shirts, that are often designed and voted upon through the input of its audience.[14]Its online subscription membership has two plans, "insider" offering full web content access and discounts, and "activist", offering additional access to its townhalls and political events.[14]

Following the 2016 election, TYT fundraised for small grassroots donations among its members, raising thousands of dollars and created a media division namedTYT Investigatesdevoted to investigative journalism with the aim to hold people with power to account.[43]Operating as a watchdog outfit,TYT Investigatesinvestigative journalists report on issues such as inequalities in the economic system, power held by corporations, and other topics sidelined by traditional media like the views of ordinary citizens at political events.[43]For example, TYT journalist Emma Vigeland has attended US PresidentDonald Trump's political rallies and interviewed supporters.[43]

In mid-December 2017,Politicoreported that TYT was courting formerCBS Evening NewsanchorDan Ratherto host a news show.[44]On January 21, 2018, TYT confirmed that it will showThe News with Dan Rather,a half-hour "untraditional evening newscast" weekly on Mondays in the time slot before the main Young Turks show.[45]

Linear channel

On May 17, 2018, The Young Turks launched a 24-hour linear channel onYouTube TVwhich includes all of TYT's current shows and four new shows calledThe Damage Report,"#NoFilter","The Happy Half Hour"and"Old-School Sports".[46]The channel has since been made available on The Roku Channel and Xumo as well.

The network is reliant on its multimedia platforms to attract online viewers and its audience are "young, educated, affluent and politically interested" people who consume news from online sources.[14]As a result of ongoing TYT membership drives, its base of subscribed members has grown numbering 32,000 in 2019.[14]Per month, the media outlet receives 200 million views.[48]On YouTube, its main show, The Young Turks, has more than 4.7 million subscribers.[48]Over 12 million viewers (2019) are subscribed to its multiple online channels.[14]TYT has become one of the largest watched online networks, with its videos seen over 8 billion times (2019).[14]TYT'smillennialviewership ranks the network first for news and politics across its online platforms.[14]

Controversies

Name controversy

The show's nameYoung Turkshas been criticized and called for change[62]due to theCommittee of Union and Progress' conflation with the largerYoung Turkspolitical movement in the Ottoman Empire which was responsible for committing theArmenian genocide,theAssyrian genocide,and theGreek genocide.[63][64]Alex Galitsky, who works for theArmenian National Committee of America,stated "If a group decided to call themselves ‘the Young Nazis’, and pitched themselves as a disruptor or anti-establishment news outlet, people would be rightly outraged".[63]

In 1991, Cenk Uygur wrote an article inThe Daily Pennsylvanian,thestudent newspaperof theUniversity of Pennsylvania,in which he promotedArmenian genocide denial.[65]In 2016, Cenk Uygur posted a statement on TYT's website in which he rescinded his Armenian Genocide denial statements, arguing: "My mistake at the time was confusing myself for a scholar of history, which I most certainly am not. I don’t want to make the same mistake again, so I am going to refrain from commenting on the topic of the Armenian Genocide, which I do not know nearly enough about."[66][67]In response to the criticism he has explained that the name of the show was chosen because it is a popular colloquialism traditionally meaning a young radical who fights the status quo.[64]

Dismissal of Jordan Chariton

In November 2017, TYT fired field reporterJordan Charitonoversexual assault allegationsmade against him byThe Huffington Post.[68][69]Chariton denied the accusations, considered legal actions[69]and later he settled the matter with TYT.[70]

Unionization of TYT staff

In late February 2020, theInternational Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees(IATSE) sought to unionize the production and post-production staff at TYT.[71][72]Uygur urged his employees not to, as he stated TYT is a small media organization and the move would endanger its financial viability; however, the network supported its workers holding a secret ballot to unionize.[73][74]Employees expressed support for an open ballot and a bargaining process followed.[73][74]On April 9, 2020, nine of fifteen members voted in favor to have their own union and unionize with IATSE, with the majority decision being approved by TYT.[48]

Television spin-offs

The Young Turks with Cenk Uygur

The first linear television incarnation of the program began as an hour-long show that premiered onCurrent TVon December 5, 2011. Co-created and hosted by Cenk Uygur (who executive produced the series with original program co-creator Dave Koller, with Jesus Godoy, Jayar Jackson and Mark Register serving as producers), the program was co-presented by Ana Kasparian, with Ben Mankiewicz, Michael Shure, Brian Unger, Wes Clark Jr. and RJ Eskow as contributors and correspondents. It was filmed at studio facilities in theLos Angelessuburb ofCulver City.

Current TV announced the launch of a separate television broadcast ofThe Young Turkson September 20, 2011, with the program intending to air Monday through Friday evenings at 7:00 pm. Eastern Time beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011. It was the second news and opinion program to air on Current, alongsideCountdown with Keith Olbermann,and was part of a strategy to refocus the network's prime time schedule around progressive talk programming (which was followed by the debut ofThe War Room with Jennifer Granholmin January 2012). According to the show's website, the show was titledThe Young Turks with Cenk Uygurto differentiate itself from the popular web series.[75]For two years, the two separate shows were produced each Monday through Thursday, with a one-hour break between the production airtimes of the television and web shows. In a press release, representatives for Current described TYT as "a group of progressive, outspoken journalists and commentators discussing politics and pop culture" and founder Cenk Uygur as bringing a, "uniquely progressive and topical commentary about politics and pop culture."[75]

On January 2, 2013, Current TV was sold to Qatar-owned broadcasterAl Jazeera Media Network,[76]which announced plans to reorganize the channel asAl Jazeera America,focusing on world news and investigative content with a more neutral tone; with the move, the channel would discontinue its talk programming slate, includingThe Young Turks with Cenk Ugyur,which ended its run on Current TV on August 15, 2013, shortly before the network's relaunch.[38][77]

In an interview with theLos Angeles Times,Uygur commented that with the discontinuance of the television broadcast, he was relieved to move on and focus on his web show and the TYT Network site, stating that he had been "exhausted from doing the two shows at once" and that he was glad to put his energies there, as he believes that the future of media will gravitate towards online content. Uygur also noted that he talked with Al Jazeera after the company bought Current, reaching a mutual agreement not to continue with the television broadcast due to the change in ideological tone that Al Jazeera America would maintain.[38]However, members ofThe Young Turks'on-air contributing staff, such asMichael Shure(who served as a political and general assignment contributor),Cara Santa Maria(part ofTechKnow) andBen Mankiewicz(who worked as a movie critic), regularly appeared on Al Jazeera America.The Young Turksalso maintain a partnership with Al Jazeera's digital channelAJ+,in an arrangement first announced in March 2015.[78]

The Young Turks on Fusion

The Young Turksreturned to television with a weekly, hour-long program onFusion,The Young Turks on Fusion,which premiered on September 12, 2016, for a twelve-week limited run. Hosted by Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola, the program – which was broadcast from college campuses around the United States, in a live-audience format modelled afterESPN'sCollege GameDay– focused on coverage of the2016 United States presidential campaign.The show also featured Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Dore, Ben Mankiewicz, Hannah Cranston,Hasan Piker,and Kim Horcher as contributors, as well as Fusion reporters and celebrity guest hosts.[79][80]Piker is the nephew of Uygur and went on to become a well-knownTwitch streamerand commentator in his own right.

Political activity

TYT promotes itself as the "Home of Progressives".[123]Uygur has stated that "TYT values journalistic objectivity".[123]TYT commentary generates "hybridized content".[123]This involves TYT referencing news from mainstream sources and providing its own content analysis by connecting it to different narratives and discourses related to the social realities of its audience.[123]The network's commentary has generated counter narratives in relation to traditional policy discussions.[123]TYT places news in its context and connects it to the decision-making process.[12]By engaging with social movements, the station has called on its audience to become part of its "TYT army".[35]The network uses its platforms for advocacy, such as calling for its audience to participate in the political process and give candidates support.[123]

As part of new media, TYT coverage conveys the frustration and discontent held by youth with the political system.[22]Progressive social policies and liberal values are promoted through commentary by TYT.[123]Examples include TYT calling forgun controland the need to mitigateviolence by policeduring its coverage of the 2018Parkland school shooting.[123]In similar coverage ofshootings,TYT has provided information ongun and crime related homicide numbersand placed into context thelaws,police training and additional factors that worsen the situation.[123]Hosts on TYT advocate for unionization in large companies and the sharing of profits with their workers.[73]The network has spoken out against corruption in politics and for the need to remove corporate donations out of the political system.[22]The station has been critical of what it regards as a "corporate coup" in the US.[33]TYT has criticized politicians from the USDemocratic Partyfor alleged attachment to financial interests and for appearing to be progressive.[33]Hosts on TYT have called for the Democratic Party to undergo a revitalization process.[33]The network has been critical of theTrans-Pacific Partnership(TPP) trade deal and its supporters like Hillary Clinton, whereas TYT approved of SenatorBernie Sanders' opposition to it.[33]The station has defended thewhistleblowerWikiLeaksorganization and its data disclosures on several issues such as the TPP, theDNC email leakand theHillary Clinton email controversy.[124]TYT was skeptical about claims of allegedRussian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.[125]

The station uses traditional and online media platforms regarding political action and mobilization for citizen engagement with institutional politics.[43][33]For example, TYT townhalls are hosted in local communities involving a moderator asking questions of the expert panel followed by audience questions, with the events streamed on YouTube and on-demand web access for its subscription membership.[14]Viewers also have the option to send video questions to the network if they are unable to be present at the townhall.[43]TYT townhall events involve detailed commentary by hosts and guests on political topics ranging from personal experiences to abstract notions on issues of concern that serve to connect their audience and lived experiences with politics.[43]During the 2016 US presidential election, TYT hosted townhalls with Sanders andGreen partycandidateJill Stein.[43]In the late 2010s, other TYT townhalls were held with Sanders on theclimate change crisis.[43]Several hosts for TYT have expressed support for Sanders.[126][127][128]

TYT sign supportingMedicare for All

The network supports political candidates who are from the same ideological persuasion.[123]Following the 2016 presidential election, Uygur co-founded Justice Democrats, an organization that seeks to get progressive candidates elected into office.[129]During the US mid-term elections (2018), the network endorsed all candidates from the Justice Democrats (JD).[129]TYT was the first network to give airtime to progressive candidates such asAlexandria Ocasio-Cortezto discuss policies and contrast themselves from electoral opponents on its shows likeRebel HQ,a half an hour interview based program created in 2017.[130]In 2018, TYT also featured other progressive political candidates onRebel HQsuch asRichard Ojedaduring his congressional run, gubernatorial candidatesCynthia Nixonwho ran inNew York StateandChristine HallquistinVermontto discuss their policies.[130]

As a platform for online and offline civic engagement and political action,Rebel HQoffers information about a candidate, their website and campaign.[123]The show informs viewers on how they can contact politicians, assist progressive candidates affiliated or unaffiliated with the Justice Democrats through donations or to participate by volunteering, canvassing and attending events like rallies in local communities.[131]TYT's online platforms facilitate the encouragement of civic participation with the political system that in 2018 assisted Justice Democrats in getting 7 congressional victories, 25 candidates during the general election and 78 in the primaries.[123]After Ocasio-Cortez became a congresswoman, TYT has continued to cover and defend her from slants by the political and media elite.[129]Other Justice Democrats congressional members likeRo KhannaandRashida Tlaibhave appeared on TYT discussing progressive policies and issues.[130]

In June 2019, during a high-profile Democratic presidential candidate campaign weekend in Iowa, TYT and a group of supporters launched the Progressive Economic Pledge campaign, challenging presidential candidates to sign. The pledge is to support higher wages, Medicare for All, Green New Deal, college for all and the end of private campaign financing.[132][133]

In mid-November 2019, Uygur filed to run for Congress inCalifornia's 25th district,a seat recently vacated by the resignation ofKatie Hill,an office also being pursued by former Trump campaign aideGeorge Papadopoulos.[134][135][136]He received 6.6% of the vote and did not advance to the runoff, which was won by RepublicanMike Garcia.

On October 11, 2023, Uygur announced his campaign forPresident in the Democratic Primary.[137]As of December 2023, he has been kept out of the primary due to the fact that he is not a natural-born American citizen.[138]
