BluTV was a Turkish media provider offering streaming media and video on demand services via the internet. It was founded in 2015 under Doğan Holding by Aydın Doğan Yalçındağ and was later acquired by Warner Bros. Discovery.[1] Accessible via computers, mobile devices, and smart TVs, the platform offered a variety of local and international content, including live TV broadcasts, films, series, sports, lifestyle, and adult genres.
On 19 January 2021, Discovery, Inc. acquired a 35% stake in BluTV,[2] and the service became the Discovery+ exclusive distributor in Turkey in 5 May 2021.[3]
On 6 December 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) fully acquired BluTV.[4][5] On 5 December 2024, it was announced that BluTV would merge into Max as part of WBD's global streaming consolidation strategy.[6]
On 15 April 2025, BluTV was dissolved. All current BluTV subscribers were grandfathered into Max when it launched on the same date.[7]
