Digiturk is launching a new program called beIN Wellness specifically aimed at helping people to stay physically and mentally fit as everyone adjusts to life at home.

Yousef Al-Obaidly, CEO of Digiturk, said, “At this incredibly challenging time, we know people and families across Turkey are looking for inspiration, light relief and something positive to keep them going. While live sport is temporarily on hold for everyone involved, it will return soon—and in the meantime, our non-live sport and our entertainment portfolio is one of the best in the world. Today, in particular, we are opening up our Entertainment content for our subscribers to enjoy and escape from the challenges outside—while bringing families in the home closer together. As a global broadcaster, we also recognize our responsibility to spread messages of guidance surrounding the virus and bring messages of hope—which is why we’re proud to be helping the World Health Organisation with various important and inspiring initiatives. While times are currently very tough for everyone—including everyone involved in the sports and entertainment industry—we want to play our small part in supporting everyone’s efforts to stay safe at home and lift everyone’s spirits at the same time.”
