History

[edit]

Ananda TV was initially licensed as 'ATV' by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission in November 2013.[6] Its frequency allocation was granted in January 2015.[7] Ananda TV commenced test transmissions on 24 January 2018.[8] Later, they were allowed to officially commence transmissions on 14 February 2018.[8]

A press conference regarding the launch of the channel was held in its headquarters on 10 March. Later, Ananda TV officially began broadcasting the following day, with a launch ceremony held.[2] It also claimed to aim to showcase the Bengali culture and heritage to audiences by the spirit of the liberation war.[2][9]

The channel's founder was Abbas Ullah Shikder, the producer of the popular 1989 Bangladeshi film, Beder Meye Josna, who later died on 18 January 2020.[10][11] Others present at the launch ceremony were the Minister of Information Hasanul Haq Inu, Ananda TV's former chairman Hasan Taufique Abbas, and former managing director Nurul Islam.[2] The channel began broadcasting via the Bangabandhu-1 satellite in 2019.[12] On 21 August 2021, the building where Ananda TV is based in caught on fire.[3]
