 CJR January/February 2005: The Paradox of Pink
The ties between turbofolk and organized crime reached their apotheosis with the 1995 marriage of the busty hit singer “Ceca” to Zeljko “Arkan” Raznatovic, a notorious paramilitary leader, crime boss, and occasional guest on Pink talk shows during the war.
Even if Pink was not an overtly “political station,” it became the center of a powerful cog in the Yugoslav wartime propaganda machine: Turbofolk music, a new sound that blended electronic dance rhythms with Serbian and Gypsy melodies and lyrics that ran from saccharine to nationalistic.
Turbofolk worked at cross purposes to the rock and roll that B92 played, which conjured a street-fighting antiestablishment tradition that had become a battle cry for opposition groups and a perceived threat to the regime.

As masses of protestors burned the RTS studios on October 5, 2000, TV Pink used its satellite uplink to broadcast to the world the now-famous images of the popular uprising, even before it was clear that the protestors would win and the regime would fall.
