Turkey's broadcasting watchdog on Tuesday canceled licenses of all radio and television stations determined to have links with a religious movement whose followers are accused of staging a failed coup.

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTUK) said in a statement on its website it took the decision at an extraordinary meeting convened following the failed July 15 attempt to overthrow President Tayyip Erdogan.

Turkey has blamed followers of U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen. Gulen, who has lived in self-imposed exile in the United States for years, denies the charge.

The list includes: STV, Samanyolu Haber, Samanyolu Haber Radyo, Can Erzincan TV, Kanal 124, Yumurcak TV, Hira TV, MC TV, Dünya TV, Kanal Türk, Bugün TV, Mehtap TV, Berfin FM, Kanal Türk Radyo, Burç FM, Samanyolu Haber Radyosu, Radyo Mehtap, Haber Radyo Ege, Dünya Radyo, Radyo Küre, Merkür TV, Esra Radyo, Tuna Shoping TV and Samanyolu Haber Radyo Anadolu.
