BTV still most favourite!

Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu has claimed that Bangladesh Television (BTV), with 83 per cent viewers, is still the most popular television channel in the country.  

The minister came up with the information in the parliament on Thursday, reports UNB.

"There're many private TV channels in the country and there're huge viewers, too. But there's no reason to think BTV has lost its viewers," he said while responding to a starred question from independent MP Abdul Matin (Maulvibazar-2).

The minister further said, "BTV is still the most favourite channel as it has 83 percent [of the total] viewers."

He said BTV is now airing more pro-people and popular programmes than any time in the past.

Inu also said BTV is also telecasting many time-befitting programmes dropping many old ones which helped increase popularity of the state-owned television channel.
