Support of art and culture through television broadcasting: a historical perspective on the development of Azerbaijan State Television

Abstract

This article discusses various reforms and efforts undertaken in the modern era in the field of Azerbaijani television to develop the national spiritual values of the Azerbaijani people and youth, and to preserve their national spirit. The independence of Azerbaijan following the 70-year collapse of the Soviet Union played a direct role in its culture and the field of television. The article presents facts based on many new programs, including those prepared during the Soviet era. It addresses issues and methods in the Azerbaijani television sector during both periods. The focus is on the entire history of the establishment of Azerbaijan State Television, its stages of development, and all related matters. The article examines the core of program formats related to art, culture, and literature that have historically manifested themselves in the development history of television. Emphasizing the clarification of the role of art in the formation of the aesthetic ideals of society, including its aspects (genres, types), is deemed more appropriate. The widespread interest in culture, in connection with its functions such as educational, heritage, and social existence preservation, is highlighted. Years of experience have once again proven that it is absolutely necessary to learn from professional experts in the Azerbaijani television space.
