Maasranga Television (Bengali: মাছরাঙা টেলিভিশন; lit.'Kingfisher Television')[1] is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable television channel owned by the Square Group. It commenced broadcasts on 30 July 2011,[2] and is based in Banani, Dhaka.

History

[edit]

Maasranga Television received its broadcasting license from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission, along with several other privately owned Bangladeshi television channels, on 20 October 2009.[3] The channel commenced official transmissions on 30 July 2011, with the "Rangati Elo Machranga" (রাঙাতে এল মাছরাঙা; lit.'Kingfisher came to color') slogan.[4] Maasranga is the first television channel in Bangladesh to broadcast on high-definition television.[5]

In July 2015, in observance of Eid al-Fitr, Maasranga began airing Nickelodeon India's Motu Patlu.[6] The channel later added more Indian animated programming such as Chacha Bhatija, Gattu Battu, and ViR: The Robot Boy.[7] On 15 August 2015, coinciding the 40th death anniversary of the founding father of Bangladesh, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Maasranga aired a special musical program titled Bangabandhu Ke Niye.[8] Along with Bangladesh Television and GTV, Maasranga Television broadcast the 2016 Asia Cup for Bangladeshi audiences.[9]

Maasranga began reairing The Adventures of Sinbad in Bangladesh on 1 January 2017, which was also formerly broadcast by Bangladesh Television.[10] The channel also began airing the Turkish television series Diriliş: Ertuğrul on 2 April 2017.[11] It was one of the broadcasters of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in the country.[12] Maasranga began airing Hercules: The Legendary Journeys on 10 February 2019.[13] The 2018 supernatural thriller film Debi had its world television premiere on Maasranga twice on 13 and 14 February 2019.[14] In December 2019, Maasranga, along with three other Bangladeshi television channels, signed an agreement with UNICEF to air programming regarding children's issues.[15]

Technical works and broadcasting areas

The whole system is fully digital and high definition (HD). Maasranga programs are broadcast round the clock covering Asia the rest of the world.[16][17]
