Bangladesh Television, also known as BTV, is a state-owned television network headquartered in Bangladesh. Founded in 1964, with approximately 80 employees, the company primarily focuses on broadcast television and radio. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, it serves as the state-owned television network of Bangladesh.
On August 6, 2026, the Ministry of Public Administration appointed journalist Kazi Jesin as the new Director General of Bangladesh Television (BTV) on a one-year contractual basis, marking an administrative reshuffle within the state broadcasting operations. Previously, on June 9, BTV secured the broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup directly from FIFA for 727.1 million taka, covering all 104 matches from the opening game through to the final. This acquisition followed growing concerns in Bangladesh, noted on May 13, that local audiences might not be able to watch the tournament live due to broadcasters not having secured telecast rights at that time.
