Today, there are enough independent Teleradio companies in Azerbaijan.

Currently, Teleradio companies properly prmote Azerbaijan and its culture both in the region and in the world.

During the Soviet Union, despite the restrictions, employees of culture and art of Azerbaijan could create a beautiful artistic atmosphere. During the years of independence, private TV channels were established in Azerbaijan, and it made the Teleradio sphere richer. The number of people working in this field has increased. Cable, Internet, satellite, mobile broadcasting has started operating.
At the same time, specialized TV channels emerged in Azerbaijan. Cultural, sports and news TV channels have been founded, and this is a serious achievement in the field of Teleradio. In other words, today, the Teleradio field of Azerbaijan is quite rich. President Ilham Aliyev successfully continues the policy of the attention and care national leader Heydar Aliyev pursued.
