After the Savings Deposit Insurance Fund's seizure of Star Media Group, Star newspaper and the naming rights of "Kanal 24" were put up for sale for $19 million, but it did not attract the expected interest. Later, in the tender held in March 2006, Northern Cyprus businessperson Ali Özmen Safa bought it for 5 million 150 thousand dollars. Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) President Ahmet Ertürk stated that they shook hands with a total of 12 million dollars in return for Özmen's increasing the 5 million 150 thousand dollars bid given in the tender to 8 million dollars and also paying the severance pay of 4 million dollars due to the employees.

After Ali Özmen Safa bought the newspaper and the naming rights of 24, Alaaddin Kaya and his son Cüneyt Kaya stated that they established a company together. He announced that 60% of the company will be owned by the Kaya Family and 40% by himself. But then Ethem Sancak and Turkish Football Federation President Hasan Doğan, who died in 2008 as a result of a heart attack, became partners of Star Medya Yayıncılık A.Ş. Ethem Sancak later acquired the shares of Ali Özmen Safa and Hasan Doğan in Star Medya Yayıncılık A.Ş., becoming the sole owner of the organization.

The funeral ceremony of Armenian writer Hrant Dink, who was assassinated in Istanbul, was broadcast live on January 23, 2007, the day when the Turkish government discussed the intervention in Iraq with the Bolu Mountain Tunnel, which was finished 12 years later.
