Ntv, a popular private TV channel in Bangladesh, is going to telecast programmes in USA, Canada and UK from April 1, 2004. Yet another Bangla TV channel will air its programmes worldwide.

On February 6, Enayetur Rahman, the Managing Director of ntv, signed a 'Broadcast Rights Agreement' with his counterpart Shafkat Chawdhury, the Managing Member of NTVLLC of North America. NTVLLC will provide the required transmission facilities.

Enayetur Rahman said, 'Viewers will be able to watch our total programme schedule in USA, Canada and UK. However, we will only telecast 2-hour local programmes in the slot when we repeat our daily programmes.'
