AzTV or Azerbaijan Television () is a state-controlled national television station in Azerbaijan. It is the oldest television channel in the country, having first broadcast from Baku on 14 February 1956 in what was then the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic, Soviet Union.

==History== ===Beginning=== Azerbaijan Television started its operation 30 years after Azerbaijani Radio - on February 14, 1956. The construction of the building for the television center in Baku began in 1954. The location for its construction was chosen at one of the highest places in Baku - Mehdi Huseyn 1. The building of the telecenter, which Azerbaijani builders and specialists built together with their colleagues from Moscow and Leningrad and equipped with the appropriate equipment, was handed over at the end of 1955. Until February 1956, test programs of the Baku studio were broadcast occasionally.
