Maasranga TV sets off journey today
With a promise to maintain objectivity and professionalism in news and programmes, Maasranga Television, a new private satellite channel, will set off its journey from today (Saturday) afternoon.
It will be the first high-definition (HD; 920 × 1080 resolution) TV channel in Bangladesh that will enable viewers to watch more vividly quality programmes, said Anjan Chowdhury, managing director of the TV, during a press conference at a city hotel yesterday.
“We will emphasise quality and follow schedule literally”, said Chief Editor and Chief Executive Officer Syed Fahim Munaim. Considering the boredom and irritation the viewers undergo, the channel will telecast advertisement only for six minutes in two different slots in every half-hour programme, he added.
Shah Alamgir, head of news, and Hassan Abidur Reja Jewel, head of programme, also addressed the programme. Alamgir said Maasranga Television will serve news like a 24-hour news channel.
