MTV Azerbaijan, 'MTV' being the acronym of Muz TV, is an Azerbaijani satellite and cable music-oriented television channel. It initially launched as an internet-based television channel on 11 May 2012 and later began broadcasting via satellite in 2017.[1] Despite its name, the channel has no connection with the American cable television channel MTV, and instead was launched as the local feed of Russian music channel Muz-TV.[2] MTV Azerbaijan is headquartered at Tbilisi Avenue in Baku.[3] It is the first music-oriented television channel in Azerbaijan.[4]
History
[edit]Muz TV Azerbaijan began broadcasts as an internet television channel on 11 May 2012 through its website, aiming to promote Azerbaijani music.[5] Muz TV Azerbaijan commenced worldwide satellite transmissions on 6 October 2017 through Azerspace-1 after signing an agreement with Azercosmos.[6][1] Its license to broadcast via satellite was granted on 20 October by the National Television and Radio Council.[7] A concert was organized at the Azerbaijan State Academic Philharmonic Hall on 12 February 2018 on the occasion of the beginning of MTV Azerbaijan's satellite broadcast.[8]
Singer Rahim Rahimli joined MTV Azerbaijan as its director in late June 2018.[9] It was reported on 4 January 2020 that Rahim Rahimli was removed from his position as the director of MTV Azerbaijan.[10] This was initially denied by the network on 5 January,[11][12] but this was later clarified a few days later.[13] The Audiovisual Council sent a warning to MTV Azerbaijan on 30 June 2022 after the channel was found to violate guidelines five days prior.[14] As it was allegedly promoting violence on 3 October 2022 through its program Ümid ilə gəl according to the council, MTV Azerbaijan was warned again alongside Azad Azerbaijan TV on 5 October.[15] It was warned once again for guidelines violation in February 2023.[16]
On 20 February 2024, MTV Azerbaijan broadcast content which was considered a violation of guidelines, causing the audiovisual council to suspend the channel's broadcasts for eight hours on 27 February.[17][18][19] On 25 July 2024, Fariz Aliyev took the position of the deputy executive director of MTV Azerbaijan.[20] He later resigned from his position.[21] Elsever Dunyamaliyev, who previously served as the deputy chairman of AzTV, succeeded Aliyev as the new executive director of MTV Azerbaijan on 9 September 2024.[22]
Programming
[edit]Originally, the channel solely broadcast music programming. Later in 2020, its lineup began to include non-music entertainment programming. MTV Azerbaijan is a mixed entertainment channel, offering both music and non-music programming.[23]
