Islamic TV (Bengali: ইসলামিক টিভি) was a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable religious television channel launched in April 2007.[1] It was headquartered in the Hatirpool neighborhood of Dhaka.[2] One of the founders of the channel was its owner Sayeed Iskander, the younger brother of the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.[3][4]
In 2013, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission shut Islamic TV down, along with Diganta TV.[5][6] Prior to its shutdown, it was Bangladesh's only television channel dedicated to religious programming.[7] The channel also broadcast entertainment and news programming.[8]
