Gunaz TV is an independent Azerbaijani-language satellite channel founded in 2004 by Ahmad Obali, an émigré journalist from Iran's Azerbaijani community, and operated from Chicago. Its name is a portmanteau of "Güney Azərbaycan" - South Azerbaijan - and the channel positions itself as the voice of that region's Azerbaijani population, and its live signal streams online.
A Diaspora Voice from Chicago
Gunaz TV broadcasts by satellite across Europe, West Asia, North Africa and Central Asia, serving Iranian Azerbaijanis and the wider Turkic-speaking world. Founded to report on the rights and cultural life of South Azerbaijanis, it built its identity on news and current-affairs programming aimed at audiences in Iran that it describes as underserved by domestic media. After being removed from Turkey's Türksat satellite in 2006 following an Iranian complaint, the channel has continued via the Telstar and Hot Bird platforms. According to its owner, the station is financed by viewer donations rather than state support.
News and Advocacy
Programming centres on news bulletins and talk shows covering South Azerbaijan, Iran and Azerbaijan itself, alongside cultural programmes, music and phone-in formats that connect the diaspora. Gunaz TV also maintains an active video presence online, extending its reporting to audiences far beyond its original satellite footprint.
