BERLIN (Reuters) - Nihan Sen's grandmother came to Germany in the 1960s but still speaks no German. By contrast, Nihan herself is a star of German youth culture, with 783,000 followers for her YouTube channel. Yet she acknowledges: "I really do like a bit of Turkish television."

She is not alone. Turkish broadcasters have an 84 percent market share among Germany's three million people of Turkish background, and 40 percent of them watch no German television at all, according to market researcher Data4U.
