Radio host and lawyer Cenk Uygur started The Young Turks as a talkshow on Sirius in 2002. In 2005, he started posting TYT videos to YouTube, an early arrival to the then-fledgling startup, and it has since grown into a 60-employee bicoastal operation that produces shows ranging from current events and sports to pop culture and tech on 18 YouTube channels. The network’s flagship remains “The Young Turks,” a live weekday news and commentary program hosted by Uygur and Ana Kasparian.
