However, when Yaşar Holding exited the media business, Ege TV was completely sold to Bakioğlu Holding in 2001.

2 years after the closure, Ege TV was sold to Kanal 58 from Sivas and began broadcasting through Kanal 58's frequency, but they renamed it to World Türk TV on 10 October 2022 and is still broadcasting as of today. However, Ege TV's building from late 2004 to 2017 was left abandoned at that time.
On 6 July 2024, Karne Media Group gained the intellectual rights of Ege TV for a third relaunch.
