24/7 Turkish Pop – Free, Global, and Always Connected
Radio Anatolia stands as a bridge between Turkish culture and the global stage. Founded by Dr. İlhan Sami Özulu in December 2016, the station has become a cultural and community hub, delivering nonstop Turkish pop music from Las Vegas, Nevada, streaming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at RadioAnatolia.net.
The journey began on 12.12.12, when Dr. Özulu launched a modest 1.5-hour weekly live show in Southern California under the name Radio Özulu. After serving as partner and CEO of Radyo.Turkiye.Net (2015–2016), he expanded his vision, bringing together 16 broadcasters to create Radio Anatolia. Today, the station not only entertains but also strengthens cultural ties for the Turkish-American community and introduces the richness of Turkish music to international audiences.
Radio Anatolia is completely free to listen to anywhere in the world. Listeners can tune in online and even save the channel to their cell phones for easy access anytime.
About Dr. İlhan Sami Özulu
Dr. İlhan Sami Özulu is both a seasoned professional and a lifelong cultural ambassador. His music career began in 1966 at the İstanbul Municipal Conservatory of Music, where he studied viola. By 1970, he had formed Evrim Folk Dörtlüsü with his brother İhsan, releasing their first single in 1971. As the group later became Evrim 5, they collaborated with iconic Turkish artists such as Esmeray and İlhan İrem. His talent was recognized with the TRT Best Composer Music Award in 1979.
Alongside performance, Dr. Özulu served in the State Classical Turkish Music Choir of the Ministry of Culture, toured Europe with the Turkic World Research Foundation Music Ensemble, and conducted orchestras professionally.
His academic background is equally impressive:
-
BS in Business & Finance – İstanbul University
-
MA & Ph.D. in Radio/TV Broadcasting – İstanbul University
-
MS in E-Commerce – George Mason University
Professionally, he worked at the Voice of America in Washington, D.C., before expanding into Information Technology. At the same time, he remained committed to cultural initiatives, founding the Turkish Music Choir of Washington, D.C., supporting Turkish folklore groups, and leading Galatasaray soccer fan clubs in both D.C. and California.
In 2020, Dr. Özulu relocated to Las Vegas, continuing his mission through Radio Anatolia. Beyond broadcasting, he remains active as a performer, author, and cultural advocate—having written two books, recorded three singles, and appeared on numerous Turkish TV programs.
Dr. Özulu is also a well-known entertainer and musician in the United States, performing as a one-man band. He is available to be hired for special occasions such as parties, galas, balls, and private or corporate events, bringing his signature blend of Turkish and international music to audiences across the country.
Radio Anatolia embodies both the entrepreneurial spirit and cultural mission that align with the Turkish Chamber Las Vegas. By blending media, music, and technology, the station not only entertains but also strengthens cultural awareness, connects Turkish-Americans across the U.S., and introduces Türkiye’s vibrant music scene to the world.
