History
In 2005, Ahmet Obali started broadcasting as an independent 24-hour TV channel via the Telstar 12 satellite. The channel, which broadcast from December 2005 until March 2006 via Türksat, was removed from Türksat as the result of the note of the Iranian state and once again passed to Telstar 12. In 2006, the channel continued to broadcast via the Hot Bird satellite, and due to financial difficulties, it had to switch to another satellite. It is not yet known whether the return on Türksat is soon to be made. In November 2016 it was additionally launched on the Express AM6 satellite.
Despite the 14-month publication plan and the audience in Azerbaijan, this channel continued to broadcast. South Azerbaijan Television (Gunaz) plays a very influential role in the National Action of Azerbaijan since it is the first and only television channel that brings the problems of Azerbaijan to the TV screen. The channel played an important role especially in the Iran newspaper cockroach cartoon controversy.
