BTV turns 59 yesterday

Entertainment Desk :
Bangladesh Television (BTV) is the first Bangla-language television channel around the world. The television channel celebrated its 58th anniversary on December 25
and stepped into 59, said
a press release.
The BTV authority
celebrated the anniversary with colourful programmes.
The television authority arranged a cultural
programme on the premises of the television building
where noted singers and actors participated in the programme. The BTV also broadcasted special programmes in celebration of the anniversary. Over the last 59 years, the biggest achievement of BTV is to reach out to marginal people across the country and to present the development works of the government
to the nation.
The journey of the
television channel began on 25 December 1964, on
the ground floor of the defunct DIT building.
After the birth of Bangladesh, as a state-
owned television channel, Bangladesh Television
started its journey anew.
In 1980, BTV entered into
a new era with the presentation of colour programmes. BTV broadcasts can now
be viewed in HD (High Definition) on mobile apps, terrestrial, satellite,
and other platforms.
With the promise and
conviction of modern improvements, the state-owned media is entering
its 59 years.
