Bangladesh´s Jamuna TV gets airwaves

It´s good news for Bangladesh based TV channel, Jamuna TV as it has been allocated airwaves by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) on the recommendation of the country’s Ministry of Information.
Sunil Kanti Bose, chairman of BTRC announced that the television channel whose test transmissions were shut down on November 2009 will be allowed to air content once again, according to a report in Bangladesh based paper, Sangbad Sangstha. Jamuna TV had filed a petition on November 2009 with the courts to overturn the decision but at that time the higher court had upheld the government’s order.
More recently on May 2013, BTRC has further halted the transmissions of private satellite TV channel Diganta TV and Islamic TV. At the time the government had given no explanation as to why the transmissions were halted.
