DBC News (Bengali: ডিবিসি নিউজ; Dhaka Bangla Channel) is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable news television channel, owned and operated by Dhaka Bangla Media & Communication Ltd.[2][3]
History
In 2013, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted Dhaka Bangla Media & Communication a license to broadcast "Dhaka-Bangla Television".[4] It also received its frequency allocation in January 2015.[5] The channel was launched as DBC News on 21 September 2016. It started with the broadcast of the 10 am news.[2] In December 2019, DBC News, along with three other Bangladeshi television channels, signed an agreement with UNICEF to air programming regarding children's issues.[6]
Censorship and violence
On 27 October 2017, a motorcade of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was attacked in Feni District. The news van of DBC and other news organizations were damaged in the attack.[7] DBC News correspondent Partho Hasan was attacked by Shirhan Sharif Tomal, Bangladesh Jubo League leader and son of Land Minister Shamsur Rahman Sherif, on 29 November 2017.[8][9] Bangladesh Police closed eight members of the Detective Branch of Barisal Metropolitan Police for torturing a cameraman of DBC in Barisal on 12 March 2018.[10][11] The police team that attacked the journalist were led by sub-inspector Abul Bashar.[12][13] According to the US State Department Human Rights Report for 2017 the government of Bangladesh forced DBC news to remove a news item titled “Bangladesh’s Hasina Survives another Attempt on Her Life.” The news was sourced to a Burmese news portal.[14]
