History

In 2013, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted Dhaka Bangla Media & Communication a license to broadcast "Dhaka-Bangla Television".[4] It also received its frequency allocation in January 2015.[5] The channel was launched as DBC News on 21 September 2016. It started with the broadcast of the 10 am news. In December 2019, DBC News, along with three other Bangladeshi television channels, signed an agreement with UNICEF to air programming regarding children's issues.[6]

On 27 October 2017, a motorcade of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was attacked in Feni District. The news van of DBC and other news organizations were damaged in the attack.[7] DBC News correspondent Partho Hasan was attacked by Shirhan Sharif Tomal, Bangladesh Jubo League leader and son of Land Minister Shamsur Rahman Sherif, on 29 November 2017.[8] [9] Bangladesh Police closed eight members of the Detective Branch of Barisal Metropolitan Police for torturing a cameraman of DBC in Barisal on 12 March 2018.[10] [11] The police team that attacked the journalist were led by sub-inspector Abul Bashar.[12] [13] According to the US State Department Human Rights Report for 2017 the government of Bangladesh forced DBC news to remove a news item titled “Bangladesh’s Hasina Survives another Attempt on Her Life.” The news was sourced to a Burmese news portal.[14]
