What an exciting milestone! 15 years! I remember my first interview with Hülya Polat, feeling a little nervous and excited at the same time. It was truly an amazing experience to be part of the beginning of TATV. It’s such a thrill to see how far TATV has come, and even more excited to see what’s to come.

I’ve first met Hürriyet Ok through a friend, Akın Orbay. Mr. Hurriyet was looking for someone to shoot a video at MIT for a project that will be aired on TATV. I collaborated with an architect, and I helped them shoot the video. Having the architectural background, this was a very special project for me. We spent a day at the MIT campus, and found wonderful architectural details. That was the beginning of our collaboration with Hürriyet and TATV.
After I moved to Los Angeles in 2017, TATV aired a promotional video about me. It was about my professional life as a composer. Hürriyet guided me step by step for the preparation of the video. As a part of TATV, I also attended the Asian Film Festival, where there was the screening of “Ayla: The Daughter of Was” a Turkish Biography and Drama. I am very grateful to Hürriyet and TATV for all those beautiful collaborations and looking forward to more cooperation!
Akın Orbay
Hello! My name is Akın Orbay and I am a correspondent with the Turkish American Television. I first worked with them through their Youth Video Contest, where I got to write a fanfare as the opening music, working closely with Hürriyet Ok. I later became a correspondent for the channel when I moved to Los Angeles, and got to cover the closing night of the Asian World Film Festival. This night featured the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to George Takei and the screening of his Broadway Musical, Allegiance. I hope to be a part of more stories and support this great channel in the future!
