History

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]
