Bangladesh plans 24-hour news TV channel

One of Bangladesh’s largest conglomerates, Beximco Group, announced today that it would launch a new 24-hour Bangla-language news channel in a deal with Indian media company NDTV. Independent TV will be the country’s first news channel since an army-backed emergency government shut down the CSB News Channel in 2007 for allegedly “provocative” broadcasts during nationwide student unrest.

Beximco deputy chairman Salman F Rahman said the proposed channel had received regulatory approval. “We’ve already got the licence,” Rahman told AFP, adding that the deal with NDTV would bring in technical support for the channel’s projected launch in September.

Bangladesh’s media industry has experienced a minor renaissance since the democratically elected Awami League party came to power a year ago following a landslide victory in general elections. The new government has given licences to ten new television channels, although none of them have yet gone on air.

    People of Bangladesh have been feeling badly a need of a television channel which will be the 24/7 news channel. After the shutdown of the channel ‘CSB News’ of Bangladesh, there is no channel of full time news channel but ATN News. ATN News may be could not make a breakdown in the history of news channel in Bangladesh. We are very hopeful that Independent Television will be bang with its innovative creations and ideas in the field of TV media in Bangladesh.
