[edit] Shut Down
The channel went off air on 27 April 2010 at 6:41 PM while it was broadcasting its news bulletin as the Awami League government decided to stop its operation on some licensing issues. But, the channel one authority claims that they have not done anything illegal. Journalists say that the Awami League government has stopped it as this channel is broadcasting news that goes against the ruling government.
