AzTV 2006

AzTV is the state television broadcaster in Azerbaijan.

AzTV broadcasts a wide variety of shows in the Azerbaijani language, mainly news, musical shows and documentaries.

AzTV broadcasts to Baku the capital of Azerbaijan on VHF Channel 3 with a radiated power of 23kW's using I think the SECAM standard.

AzTV also has a series of relays across the country, but can also be seen across the whole of Europe and most of North Africa and parts of the Middle East on Hot Bird 6 satellite at 13.0°E.

AzTV stands for Azərbaycan Televiziyası or in English Azerbaijan Television.

AzTV does not close down often, but continues to play this national anthem video sometime before the start of their new broadcast day.

I am assuming like other former Soviet republics and their satellite countries, AzTV can probably trace its history to the mid 1950's but I have no way of proving this.

The Video

This was AzTV's National Anthem video up till 2006, I am unsure when they started using it.

Starts of with the ident used in 2006, then National Anthem video stars with The Flag proudly displayed on screen in various shots.
