A Political Economy of the Emerging Television News Industry in Bangladesh
Revista de Economía Política de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación www.eptic.com.br, vol. XI, n. 2, mayo – ago. / 2009 A Political Economy of the Emerging Television News Industry in Bangladesh Anis Rahman1 ABSTRACT This article aims to critically examine how the unprecedented expansion of television industry in Bangladesh became possible over the past decade, and how the increasingly market- liberalization trend of this country constitutes the structure, content and process of news production amongst the TV channels. This is the first time South Asia has experienced the phenomenon of a TV media 'boom' in Bangladesh, in spite of the background of politically violent and prospective new democracy. However, the escalating commercialization is triggering a divide between the actual role of television and the potential role it could play in a progressive society. Since the government permitted private broadcasting satellite TV channels in 1997, a massive investment in the production and advertisement sector has been systematically facilitated by the dominant political and commercial elites of the country. The number of television networks has increased by 19 over last 11 years. In this perspective, this article traces the answers to the questions - why and how a country with $440 per capita GNP should need 19 television channels? What is the power-structure behind the abnormal growth of TV industry? Who invests and what are the sources of asset? Aiming what profit? What backing keeps these channels running? How are the owners’ political and business networks affecting the fate of news content? The paper also highlights a contradiction between the television industry of Bangladesh and the international economic powers. -

2014 Wwwbbpower-Inspiration.Com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP
TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP 2014 wwwbbpower-inspiration.com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP Welcome to the 2014 edition of the British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration Here you will find 100 bright, ambitious and successful British Bangladeshi names across 19 categories demonstrating the dynamic, entrepreneurial, philanthropic, pioneering and innovative nature of this community. The 20th category of the 2014 list is the “People’s Choice” where for the first time the general public were invited to nominate their most inspirational British Bangladeshi. The judges are delighted to announce the 5 unsung heroes of this category who serve to remind us of the strength and courage of individuals and the potential for the future. We are often asked why we produce this list and the answer lies with the word “inspiration”. The next generation is rising fast and we aim to be at the forefront of this revolution. Recent studies have shown that in GCSE exams taken at the age of 16, Bangladeshi girls now outperform their peers. On its own this is an amazing sound bite of achievement, but imagine what more could be achieved by providing strong, powerful role models and mentors for young girls (and boys!) from across all industries and categories that the BB Power & Inspiration represents. That is why following the success of our recent lawyers networking event, we will be hosting a series of “inspirational events” under the BB Power & Inspiration banner throughout 2014 for sectors such business and enterprise, medicine, public service and the arts. Please keep checking the website for further details. As if that wasn’t enough, it has become tradition that we do a little extra and so this year, please take a look at the 10 inspirational Bangladeshi figures who live away from our shores but who demonstrate our values of talent, success, leadership and are exceptional role models for all. -

Jalal Abdul Naser Bhuiyan Abstract Bangladesh is a moderate Muslim country. But it is highly influenced by the Indian society and culture. Different ruling parties tried to resist this Indian influence. Because of geographical nearness, they failed to do it. With the emergence of satellite television after 1992, this Indian influence or the so called Indianisation became overwhelming. This influx of Indian Hindu culture was a shock to some fundamental Muslim and also some Highbrow. Western TV Channels to some extent replaced the Indian influenced. Especially, the Highbrow and the Lowbrow with High Taste embraced this Western culture. For some conservative Muslim, it was like an eye opener. -
Television Viewing Patterns and Program Choices of Rural and Urban Audiences
Society & Change Vol. XII, No.2, April-June 2018 ISSN: 1997-1052 (Print), 227-202X (Online) Television Viewing Patterns and Program Choices of Rural and Urban Audiences Mohammad Morshedul Islam* Abstract Socio-economic differences of the rural and urban TV viewers may result in varied viewing patterns and program choices. This article aims at comparing the TV viewing habits across the rural-urban dichotomies which drew little attention from the researchers studying TV audience in Bangladesh. An exploratory and descriptive sample survey was designed with purposive sampling. Data was collected from 110 rural (Female 75, Male 35) and 149 urban (Female 78, Male 71) respondents with a semi- structured questionnaire. Rural respondents were selected from villages of five Upazila under Chittagong district and urban respondents from Chittagong City Corporation. It has been observed that daily average TV viewing time of a rural viewer is 24 minutes more, Bangladeshi channels 18 minutes more and Indian channels 7 minutes more than his urban counterpart. Prime time also differs across the dichotomies. Much more viewers that are rural watch soaps, dramas, telefilms and religious programs than urban viewers. Much more rural viewers prefer to watch programs in Bengali language. Conversely, number of urban respondents watching programs in Hindi and English Languages are much higher. Findings of this study will be helpful to the decision makers in TV channels, academia, government and non-government organizations concerned with TV and its audiences. Key words: TV viewing patterns, TV program choice, rural-urban, audiences, Bangladesh Introduction People in Bangladesh had experienced satellite television (henceforth TV) for the first time on 29 September 1992 when the program of Cable News Network (CNN) was relayed on BTV, and up to 1995, more than 10 foreign TV channels were available in Bangladeshi homes (Banglapedia, 2015). -
