IMC TV (Turkish: İMC TV) was a Turkish nationwide TV channel launched on 1 May 2011.^[1] Presenters included Nuray Mert^[2] and Fehim Taştekin [tr].^[3] In 2011 it hosted a talk show series called Gamurç // Köprü ("Bridge" in Armenian and Turkish) - the first of its kind in Turkey focussing exclusively on Armenian-Turkish relations.^[1]

In March 2013 IMC hired Michelle Demishevich, Turkey's first transgender TV reporter.^[4]

During the 2013 protests in Turkey, a camera man for IMC was attacked with a tear gas cartridge fired directly at him,^[5] and IMC's Gökhan Biçici (editor of Emek Dünyası) was beaten and detained.^[6]^[7]

It was shut down under the emergency statutory decree issued in the aftermath of the 15 July failed coup d'état, alongside 11 other television and 11 radio stations, on 4 October 2016 when police raided the television station's headquarters in Istanbul.^[8]^[9]^[10]
