History

EL TV was founded on 2 March 2009, headquartered in a three-story building in Yevlakh. It was set to broadcast every day for fifteen to sixteen hours, with news broadcasts allocated twice a day. Its broadcasts were to cover several parts of central Azerbaijan, including the city of Mingachevir, as well as near those territories then controlled by the Republic of Artsakh.[3] This was a part of several development projects in Yevlakh at the time.[4]

It commenced operations on 5 March,[5] and went fully operational on 17 July 2009.[1] EL TV introduced a new logo on 28 February 2014.[1] It was one of the six regional television stations in Azerbaijan that formed the Region TV network in May 2014.[6] The channel adopted the ARB branding on 19 September 2016 as it was renamed as ARB Aran.[7][8] The name of ARB Aran was reverted to EL TV in 2020.[9]
