History

Being the first private television channel from Chittagong, Bijoy TV originally began test broadcasts on 16 December 2006, being inaugurated by the mayor of Chittagong A. B. M. Mohiuddin Chowdhury in a ceremony held at the Theatre Institute Chattagram auditorium. It was aimed to put up the potentialities of the port city before the rest of the world.[6] It was later shut down on 15 March 2007 after order from the caretaker government, accusing the channel of broadcasting without permission and a no-objection certificate.[7]

Later, in June 2009, Mohiuddin announced the relaunch of Bijoy TV.[8] It was then granted a broadcasting license by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission alongside several other privately owned Bangladeshi television channels on 20 October 2009.[9] The channel has started broadcasting regularly since 16 December 2011.[1]

In July 2017, Bijoy TV, along with four other television channels in Bangladesh, signed an agreement with UNICEF to air children's programming for one minute.[10] On 19 May 2019, Bijoy TV, along with five other channels, began broadcasting via the Bangabandhu-1 satellite after signing an agreement with BSCL.[11] [12] Bijoy TV unveiled a new logo on 31 May 2019.[13] Due to massive vandalism against eight television channels occurred on 5 August 2024 during anti-government protests in Bangladesh, Bijoy TV was one of the channels to go off the air temporarily.[14]
