History

edit

In November 2013, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted East West Media Group a broadcasting license to operate News24.[3] It received its frequency allocation in January 2015.[4] Its logo was officially revealed in February 2016.[5] The channel began test broadcasts on 25 March 2016 at 19:00 (BST).[6] News24 was one of the nine Bangladeshi television channels to sign an agreement with Bdnews24.com to subscribe to a video-based news agency run by children called Prism in May 2016.[7] The channel officially went on the air on 28 July 2016, claiming to stay "biased to the people" at its inaugural ceremony in the International Convention City Bashundhara in Dhaka.[8]
