 Comments and Criticisms 
Mesude Atay, a faculty member in the Child Development Department at Istanbul Bilgi University, noted that both Diyanet TV and TRT Çocuk broadcasts displayed a didactic tone and stated that people were not monitored during their broadcasts. Arguing that both channels lack universal values, Atay stated, "TRT Çocuk is more universal than Diyanet's children's broadcasts, but it's still not sufficient. Broadcasts are more localized, and there's no room for diversity."

According to Deutsche Welle, an anonymous screenwriter from TRT Çocuk staff alleges that the channel management censored certain topics and words and that self-censorship is widespread within the channel. Despite the scriptwriter's approval of the Peppa Pig series by the management, it was not allowed to air. DW suggested the use of the words "magic" or "mystery" instead of "spell", "evil" instead of "trouble", "trouble" instead of "trouble", "evil", "bad" or "mysterious" instead of "cursed" in TRT Çocuk cartoons.
