From now on, Bangladesh Television (BTV) programs can be watched through the app from anywhere in the world. The app called Bangladesh Television can be downloaded on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android phones.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud inaugurated the BTV app at a ceremony at the Secretariat on Wednesday.
The minister said, “BTV can now be watched from any part of the world. People are busy nowadays. This is such a time when everyone cannot sit in front of the TV every day. Mobile phones are now in everyone’s hands. BTV has launched the app keeping pace with the times, it deserves praise.”
Hasan Mahmud said BTV is currently broadcasting through Dhaka and Chittagong centers and 14 sub-centers. “A few more BTV stations will be set up in six more divisional cities in the next two years,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, BTV Director-General Sohrab Hossain said, “This app has been created to bring BTV to more people.”
In 1964, the state-owned Bangladesh Television (BTV) started operations.
