Diganta Television (Bengali: দিগন্ত টেলিভিশন; lit. 'horizon television')[2] was a Bangladeshi Bengali-language privately owned satellite and cable news television channel founded in 2007.[3] The channel was owned Diganta Media Corporation, which also owns the daily newspaper Daily Naya Diganta. Diganta Television officially began broadcasting on 28 August 2008,[4] and was shutdown along with Islamic TV on 6 May 2013, both of which were assumed to be supporting the Jamaat-e-Islami political party, and as a result faced boycotts during the 2013 Shahbag protests.[5][6]

Shutdown
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission forcibly ceased the broadcast of Diganta Television, along with Islamic TV, on 6 May 2013, at about 4:30 am.[7] The channel's chief reporter M. Kamruzzaman said that around 25 plain-clothed policemen and an official from the broadcast commission had entered their studios without warning at dawn.[8] According to Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu, it was taken off the air because its reporting on raid on Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh contained "irresponsible exaggerations and misinformation to inflame public opinion, a violation of the conditions of its license."[9][10] Critics have alleged this an instance of the Sheikh Hasina government of using the Islamist issue to silence dissidents.[9]
Programming
Diganta Television mostly aired news programming for sixteen hours per day. Other than that, other types of programming were aired on the channel.[11]
