İTV - İctimai Televiziya Live Stream

İTV, İctimai Televiziya, is Azerbaijan's public broadcaster, created by the law on public broadcasting signed on 5 November 2004 and on air since 2005 from Baku.

Public service, Azerbaijani style

Broadcasting in Azerbaijani around the clock, with the English- and Russian-language information programme Jarchi extending its reach, the channel combines news, culture and education with the sport and live events expected of a national broadcaster.

A public broadcaster in a state media system

Azerbaijan's television is dominated by state and state-linked channels, and İTV was created to give the country a public service distinct from them. Its funding and its editorial independence have been debated since its launch, and the balance between the two shapes how its newsroom works.

Eurovision and football

As a member of the European Broadcasting Union, İTV carries the Eurovision Song Contest and hosted it in Baku in 2012, after Ell and Nikki won the previous year. Its football output, including UEFA competitions, is part of a schedule built for the whole country.

Distribution

The channel broadcasts nationally on Azerbaijan's terrestrial network and streams through its own site, reaching viewers at home and the Azerbaijani communities abroad.
