The Ashtalaian media purge is a massive purge of dozens of Ashtalaian radio stations, television channels, magazines, newspapers and websites, that had its apex between 2008 and 2012.

The purge was considered to be by successive left-wing and right-wing governments as means to conspire against the ruling governments, and the government swings of 2009 accelerated the purge. Aside from political affairs, media outlets that were aligned with foreign companies or interests were also shut down.

Commercial television channel ATK was its biggest victim.
