History

edit

A competition was announced on 6 June 2007 by the National Television and Radio Council and subsequently held in order to replace Lankaran TV,[3] which ceased operations on 18 June due to reasons relating to state financing of the television channel, which is illegal according to Azerbaijani law.[4] In the whole competition, there was only one applicant, "Canub TV" or "CTV". Therefore, the frequency was to be transferred to Canub TV after the competition ended on 20 August.[5]

Its license to broadcast for six years was granted by the National Television and Radio Council to CTV in September 2007.[6] However, official transmissions would begin on 31 December 2007, broadcasting from 9:00 (AZT) in the morning to 2:00 (AZT) at midnight.[7] In its early years, the channel was receivable in all of the Lankaran-Astara Economic Region, as well as the Bilasuvar District.[8] It later expanded to cover 22 regions in the south.[1]

The channel inaugurated its new headquarters building on 8 October 2008.[9] It produced the film Təlatüm in 2011 through its film production studio CTV Cinema, which was broadcast on the channel.[10] In 2014, Canub TV was one of the six regional television stations in Azerbaijan that formed the Region TV network. The programming of CTV was distributed nationwide through Region TV.[11] It competed with ANS TV in the southern region.[12] Canub TV adopted the ARB branding on 19 September 2016 as it was renamed as ARB Canub.[13][14]
