Bangladesh Television, also known as BTV, is a state-owned entity headquartered in Bangladesh. Founded in 1964, the organization operates with approximately 80 employees and reported $34.3M in revenue as of 2023, functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer. The company specializes in broadcast television and radio, serving as the official state-owned television network of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Television (BTV) secured the broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup directly from FIFA on June 9, 2026, for 727.1 million taka (approximately 193 million baht), ensuring coverage of all 104 matches from the opening game through to the final. This development followed growing concerns in Bangladesh expressed on May 13, 2026, regarding local audiences' ability to watch the tournament live, as broadcasters had not yet secured telecast rights. Previously, on April 2, 2026, the government refuted a report published by the Amar Desh claiming 21 officials would undertake a foreign trip to learn about BTV Digital Broadcasting, terming it "false, fabricated, and baseless." The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting clarified that the project actually involves installing advanced broadcasting equipment at 16 Bangladesh Television centers and sub-centers nationwide to bring all centers under digital operations.
