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]

In 2010, Banglavision premiered Lal Golap, a magazine show hosted by Shafik Rehman, after being moved from BTV.[12] Banglavision began airing the Kache Ashar Golpo telefilms on 14 February 2014.[13] 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.[14] 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.[15]

On 1 December 2024, Lal Golap began airing again on the channel after being off-air from 16 April 2016.[16] Banglavision is one of the Bangladeshi channels whose YouTube channels were geo-blocked in India on 9 May 2025, citing threat to national security concerns during the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict.[17][18] In June 2025, Kazi Jesin's Point of Order, which went off the air in the early 2010s under pressure from the Awami League–led government, began airing again after nearly fifteen years.[19] The channel premiered the Turkish historical drama series Payitaht: Abdülhamid, localized as Sultan Abdulhamid, on 1 September 2025.[20]

Controversies

edit

On 29 June 2009, the presenter of talk show Point of Order, Kazi Jesin, was sent death threats through a leaflet sent to her home, accusing her show of having anti-Islamic themes. Jesin subsequently filed a general diary at the Mohammadpur police station.[55] 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.[56] 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.[57] In November 2015, Banglavision was among the channels asked by the information ministry about smoking scenes found in their television series.[58]
