Bangladesh Television, also known as BTV, is a State Owned entity headquartered in Bangladesh. Founded in 1964, the company employs approximately 80 individuals, reported $38.9M in revenue as of 2024, and is categorized as a tier 2 media tech buyer. Functioning as the state-owned public service television network of Bangladesh operated under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, it serves as the country's primary public video network. The company relies on Terrestrial Free-To-Air (DVB-T2 / VHF / UHF analog), Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite relay, and Over-the-Top (OTT) IP streaming to distribute national news, governmental broadcasts, cultural showcases, and socio-economic programming across Bangladesh and globally.
On August 6, 2026, the Ministry of Public Administration appointed journalist Kazi Jesin as the new Director General of Bangladesh Television (BTV) on a one-year contractual basis, marking an administrative reshuffle within the state broadcasting operations. Previously, on June 9, BTV secured the broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup directly from FIFA for 727.1 million taka, covering all 104 matches from the opening game through to the final. This acquisition followed growing concerns in Bangladesh, noted on May 13, that local audiences might not be able to watch the tournament live due to broadcasters not having secured telecast rights at that time.
