musician. Öztürk is best known as a talk show host, most prominently of the Beyaz Show that airs since
December 1996 on the Turkish channel Kanal D.

Career

Öztürk started his career at Number 1 TV. He began hosting a late night show in 1996 called 'Beyaz
Show'. Öztürk also works as a musician and actor and has recorded his debut album called "Beyaz,
Türküler" in 1998.

January 2016 controversy

On 8 January 2016, on an episode of Beyaz Show a woman who introduced herself as Ayşe Çelik called
the program as a guest[2] and said: "Are you aware of what happened in eastern Turkey and in the
southeast? Here unborn children, mothers and people are killed; a large fraction of these criminals are
the state and military".[3] Öztürk's urging to people to applaud for this note brought about a lot of
reactions. On the following day, 9 January 2016, Kanal D released a statement. It was stated that the
person who had called the program had initially stated that she wanted to ask some questions from the
artists present on stage, but instead she had done something totally different, trying to provoke a
response from the guests and audience which was not the channel's intention.[4] According to the
Ministry of National Education the person who called the program was a student.[5] Öztürk also
appeared on the Kanal D news to discuss the issue. "I'm the child of a police", I'm amazed and sorry... I
could not pay attention to what the caller was saying in live broadcast," he said[6] Bakırköy Chief Public
Prosecutor's Office announced that it was investigating Beyazıt Öztürk and Beyaz Show for spreading
terror propaganda. It was stated that the person who had called the program during the live broadcast
was also included in the investigation.[7] On 11 January 2016, the person was found living in Diyarbakır
and was taken into police custody. Ayşe Çelik was released after being questioned by the police.[8] After
all these events, Beyaz Show's new episode aired on 15 January 2016, with Öztürk pointing to his heart
in his opening speech and saying: "I vaguely thank the people who know me by their heart".[9] In the
following hours, a group of audience started chanting 'Ayşe Öğretmen is not alone' during the live
broadcast, and they were removed from the studio.[10] As a result, Öztürk ended the program earlier
than usual.[11]
