ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey's broadcasting watchdog has launched an inquiry into six opposition TV channels for "insulting the public" with their coverage of Sunday's presidential election runoff, it said on Tuesday, without detailing what the insults were.

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTUK) said viewers had complained.
