BTV World
The entrance of BTV World into the world wide satellite channels crossing its national boundary is no doubt a milestone. It is better late than never. The whole nation was looking eagerly to the auspicious inaugural ceremony of the BTV World on April 11, 2004. With its inauguration, people in about 100 countries of Asia, Australia, some parts of Europe and Africa would be able to enjoy the programmes on this channel. It has opened the doors of a great opportunity to display our joy, sorrow, heritage, history, culture, progress, and prosperity. It will surely take the responsibility of removing the negative ideas about us.
BTV was nearly dormant in this competitive era of the sky culture. Now-a-days people are using near about 100 satellite channels remaining open 24 hours. These commercial channels are attracting them with different colourful programmes. The elites of the country turned their faces away from BTV more than a decade ago, as its programmes were dull and stale. Thus people became inclined to external culture. It was a threat to our national values.
TV channel is a national property. It would be unwelcome and unpopular if it is used for personal interests. It should be kept impartial, otherwise the voice of the nation and the mirror of Bangladesh would be monotonous and hazy.
