İTV

İctimai Television (Azerbaijani: İctimai Televiziya, "Public Television" Azerbaijani pronunciation: [itʃtimɑˈi teleˈvizijɑ]) or İTV is a public television channel in Azerbaijan. It began broadcasting on 29 August 2005 after being created by law in 2004, as the first independent public broadcaster in Azerbaijan.The channel is based in Baku.

İTV is primarily funded through advertising and government payments. The law of 2004 creating the channel called for funding to come from a television licence fee, beginning in 2010, but this portion of the law has yet to be implemented.

The channel is operated by the Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (Azerbaijani: İctimai Televiziya və Radio Yayımları Şirkəti), which consists of a nine member council, whose members are approved by the President of Azerbaijan, and a director general elected by the council and also approved by the president.
