History

The channel originally began broadcasting illegally in the mid-2000s, but was later shut down in 2007 after order from the government.[8] Later, in 2009, mayor of Chittagong A. B. M. Mohiuddin Chowdhury announced the relaunch of Bijoy TV.[9]

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.[10] The channel has started broadcasting regularly since 16 December 2011. The official transmission began on 31 May 2013. Bijoy TV began broadcasting on high-definition in 2015.[11]

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.[12] On 19 May 2019, Bijoy TV, along with five other channels, began broadcasting via the Bangabandhu-1 satellite after signing an agreement with BSCL.[13][14] Bijoy TV unveiled a new logo on 31 May 2019.[15]
