Banglavision (Bengali: বাংলাভিশন) is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable television channel owned by Shyamol Bangla Media Limited, commencing official broadcasts on 31 March 2006. Its name is a portmanteau of "bangla" and "television". Banglavision is based in Bir Uttam C.R. Dutta Road in Banglamotor, Dhaka.[2]

History

[edit]

Banglavision applied for a broadcasting license on 30 May 2004, which the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted them on 31 January 2005. On the same day, Boishakhi Television and Channel 1 have also received their licenses.[1] Banglavision has also received the ability to broadcast internationally.[3] The channel commenced test transmissions on 25 December 2005 at 18:00 (BST),[4][5][6] and officially began broadcasting on 31 March 2006 with the "Drishti Jure Desh" (দৃষ্টি জুড়ে দেশ; lit. 'Country across the vision') slogan,[7] with its objective to showcase the Bengali culture to audiences.[8][9]

Banglavision originally broadcast via the Telstar 10 satellite,[10] but later switched to broadcasting using Apstar-7. It later began broadcasting via the Bangabandhu-1 satellite.[11] Banglavision was urged by the government not to broadcast a three-part documentary series on a hangman in December 2010 due to fears that it could frighten children.[12] On 12 March 2012, cable operators in many areas around Bangladesh have imposed a temporary blackout on Banglavision, along with the unrelated Ekushey Television, after both channels have reported on a BNP rally in detail.[13] Banglavision began airing the Kache Ashar Golpo telefilms on 14 February 2014.[14] On the occasion of the month of Ramadan, Banglavision was one of the eight television channels to broadcast the cooking series Pran Premium Ghee Star Cook in July 2014.[15] Banglavision was one of the nine Bangladeshi television channels to sign an agreement with Bdnews24.com to subscribe to a video-based news agency run by children called Prism in May 2016.[16]
