Perspective
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 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.[13] 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.[14] Banglavision began airing the Kache Ashar Golpo telefilms on 14 February 2014.[15] 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.[16]
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.[17] On 1 December 2024, Lal Golap began airing again on the channel after being off-air from 16 April 2016.[18] 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.[19][20]
