Bangladesh media guide January 2007
2007
Overview
In what was broadly seen as a freedom of expression issue, the first terrestrial rival to BTV, Ekushey TV, was closed down in August 2002 following a court battle over licensing irregularities. Ekushey TV's right to broadcast was restored by a court decision a year later. Ekushey could return to air in 2007, according to Dhaka media analysts. The case highlighted the lack of a legal framework for broadcasting in Bangladesh. The BBC World Service is available on FM in Dhaka. Prothom Alo newspaper observed that during the January 2007 political crisis \"people have been eagerly interested to listen to BBC news bulletins, including the BBC Bengali Service, in various parts of the country after 16 long years.\" The dropping of private TV news bulletins on the first day of the January 2007 emergency led people \"to brave the cold across the country, gather in groups and listen to BBC and other foreign news bulletins,\" the paper observed. Bangladesh has three news agencies. Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) is the official news agency of Bangladesh while the United News of Bangladesh (UNB) is a private-sector news agency. Bdnews24.com is an internet-based news agency.
