Asian TV (Bengali: এশিয়ান টিভি) is a Bangladeshi Bengali language satellite and cable television channel owned by the Asian Group of Industries. It began broadcasts on 18 January 2013, with the "Your Channel" slogan.[1] It broadcasts a selection of general entertainment programming.
History
Asian TV was formed by businessman Harun-ur-Rashid, as part of his Asian Group of Industries, which also includes Asian Radio, Asian Textile, Asian Fabrics, and Asian Yarn Dyeing.[2] The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted the channel a license to broadcast in June 2011.[3][4] The logo of Asian TV was unveiled at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon hotel in Dhaka on 20 June 2012.[5] It launched on 18 January 2013, after months of test transmissions.[1] Asian Radio, its radio sister, also began broadcasting the same day.[6] However, the radio station was later shut down.[7]
Programming
Shortly before its launch, management announced that the station's programming would include "plays, reality shows, musical programmes, talk shows, cartoons etc."[1] It started broadcasting the Bengali dub of Japanese anime series Doraemon in April 2014.[8] Afsan Chowdhury, advisory editor for the Dhaka Courier, described the channel as politically independent, and wrote that it "markets low end entertainment products".[9]
