ANS resumed broadcasting on December 12.
The National Radio and Television Council, the body that pulled ANS off the air, says ANS will nonetheless have to bid for a broadcasting license next year.
ANS is an RFE/RL FM affiliate and is widely considered the most popular independent television and radio channel in Azerbaijan.
