BTV World (Bengali: বিটিভি ওয়ার্ল্ড) is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable television channel owned by the state-owned Bangladesh Television. It began operations on 11 April 2004 via the AsiaSat 3 satellite.[1] It simulcasts the broadcasts of BTV Dhaka for most of its schedule,[2] which then simulcasts BTV World's broadcasts during the off-air hours of its terrestrial feed.[citation needed]

BTV World broadcasts worldwide from the BTV Bhaban in Rampura, Dhaka. It was also announced to be converted into an entertainment channel, with a different schedule compared to BTV Dhaka.[2] BTV World is a free-to-air television channel.[3]
