In 2012, Diganta began to broadcast all its content live-online to viewers around the globe through the website Viewers World.

Shutdown

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) shut down the channel on 6 May 2013 at about 4:30 am.[2] According to Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu, it was taken off the air because its reporting on clashes between Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh and police contained irresponsible exaggerations and misinformation to inflame public opinion, a violation of the conditions of its license.[3][4] As of February 24, 2016, the station was still off the air.[5]
