On Wednesday,
spectators were perplexed. What is this ! Popular Satellite Channels are unseen
from the screen. 70 to 80 Satellite Channels are lighting of the TV screen from
year to year. With the magically touch of the remote, those channels would
touch the heart of the spectators, the mystery for unseen of those were
informed by the aggrieved operators. They were informed that due to suddenly
direction of the Govt., there could be made download ultimately any channel
without the 12 nation and 29 pay-channel. The stroke from the Ministry of
Information has been made to which channel, among those, there are many popular
news and sports channel. There has been made lay down of the Free Channels into
the Deed Fridge. There is running a commotion for about last two days. In
against of the imprudence decision and as there is created aggrieved, the
Information Ministry has come to some of awareness. In this connection, they
have also given an explanation. Most of the spectators are not pleased with it.
In the age of Freedom Sky culture environment, effort of stop of the channel,
they choice it as an unreal. They have said that there has been come in India as Dish
TV, Tata Net. In this technology, any one can see the entire channel sitting in
own house. There would not any chance for administration and inquiry. Then why
of this imprudence decision to stop of the channel – there is none a good Govt.
explanation of this question. Some hundreds cable operation has been fallen in
great danger as most of the channels is stopping. They have been felt a doubt
that it would not be collected even about half of bill in the next month. In
the stage of upazila, the business of cable operators does run with free
channel. "Pay Channel" is costly.
The clients do not pay such of money. If the free channel be stopped,
they would be deprived from the exclusion of satellite TV. The Govt. has made
which mistake after taken an immediate decision – perhaps, they have understood
it. So, there would be withdrawn of the
forbidden from the free channel.
One of the most
noted channel of the world Voice of America, Internal famous channel Al-Jajira,
France TV-5, Germany Dewbew, Pakistan PTV
world, India NDTV, DD News, like of these popular channels are not seeing by
the spectators. Sports spectators' dear channel, DD sports, ten sports, super
sports, India's amusement DD Bangla, DD National, G-Smile and religious base
Peace Tv, Qatar's QTv and Saudi National Tv has been forbidden. But there has
been approved one more unfair channel. It is a surprising matter that among the
29 channels, 4 of the channel named GMGH, Alfa Bangla and Nickelodeon, does not
make any down link in Bangladesh.
In what consideration, those have permitted and this question is on the face of
all. Before approval of this channel – if there would taken decision after
audit-examination and sorting-verification by an expert panel, the matter would
be a major acceptance. Cores of amusement seeker spectators have said this is
not a work but of a mad.
By
this time, it has been engaged thousands of peoples already in whole of the
country with this business including satellite Tv and Cable Operating. There
has been also invested crores of money.
In Dhaka and out side of Dhaka, near about 5 thousand operator and sub-operator
has been reaching the amusement of the satellite Tv to the 60 millions of
family with 345 net-works. From this head, there is depositing some hundred crores
of take to the treasury of the Govt. On the other, the distributors are paying
50 to 60 crores of taka to the foreign channels. Due to this Channel off
decision, millions and crores of
spectators are depriving from the
enjoyment of Channel News, Sports, Religion and Amusements in the level of
District, Sub-district, Union and village including the Capital and Divisional Town. There has been unemployed more
than one thousands of Cable Operator and their assistant (Feed Bolder) by this
time. Spectators are depriving to see of their dearest and chance of 60-70
channels even after paid of the fixed money. Due to suddenly stop of the
channels, there has been occurred some of collision and act of beaten between
the aggrieved spectators and the cable businessmen in different place of the
country.
In this matter,
the information secretary Didarul Anowar has said to the Jugantar that if is to
be a Pay Channel or Free Channel, to do business in Bangladesh for all channels, there
would be taken permission from the Govt.
He was mentioned only the Television Operation Act-2006. In the range of this
Act, there is not approval of which channel, there has been power to the Govt.
to do stop of it. But about the matter of Free Channel, the demand for clients
and the spectators, the Govt. will be considered taking with importance. There has been called a special meeting in
the Ministry of Information taking with this matter and he has also said that
in this meeting, the matter would be solved.
The source was
informed that in few months ago, there was constituted a committee for to
implementation of the Govt. Principles making head of the Joint Secretary of
the Information Ministry about the matter of Cable Operator and the Clients.
But any body does not see any activity of this committee. COAB was submitted
application in the Ministry of Information before one month's ago for to show
of 45 Free Channel, but there is not seen any step of the Ministry to this
matter. There is allegation that the program of suddenly channel off has been
taken for to success of the view of some of the face known person and a group
who are connected with channel and distribution work. There has been given
permission to broadcast about 29 numbers foreign channel, such as – BBC Word,
CNN, Fox News, Sky News, The history Channel, ESPN, Hallmark, Discovery
Channel, T&T Cartoon Network, Animal Planet, National Geography Channel, HBO, Alfa Bangla,
G-English, G-News, G-Sports, GTv, G-Cinema, GMGH, G-Movies, Star News, Star
Sports, Star Plus, Star Movies, Star World, Sony Tv, MTv and Nickelodeon. Among
those, there are many channel which does not see by any body. But due to a mistrial cause, there has been
made down link of numerous free channel and there has been approved of these
unknown and un-famous channel. Those of foreign popular Sports, Cartoon, News,
Music, Cinema, Religious, Childlike including different topics of Free Channels
are now come to the range of stopping of which number is more than one hundred.
There would already make down link near about 70 channels already in the
capital city Dhaka. Out side of the capital,
there would have practiced to see near about these 30-35 free-channels in
almost every place out side of the capital by trh spectators. Among these free
popular channel, there are News base, DD News, Dewbew, GEO, Al-Janjira, NHK,

STATEMENT OF THE
COAB LEADERS:
In
this matter Cable Operator Association of Bangladesh (COAB) president Anowar
Parvez has said to the Jugantar that without any kind of discussion, there has
been stopped of the Free Channel and has been fallen into the problem to the
million to million spectators of the villages and towns. As theses channels
were under the present act, but it should to take the matter in consideration
about the subject of the spectators and he was expressed as such about his
opinion. He has said that he does his business with the Cable Operator and the
related persons with them in whole of the country. For this, they use to keep the interest of
the spectators. They have also learnt
the news that there has been occurring about quarrel-dispute even scuffle
between the cable operators and the clients in different place of the country.
On
today's meeting of the Ministry, there will be solved of the matter. The
General Secretary of COAB that the Govt. has taken the decision which have
brought a hard problem in the cable business. Their demand is to be made
release of the Free Channels. Because, among the Free Channels, there are near
about 60 Channels which are very much liking by the spectators of this country.
Besides, the spectators of the villages and towns are willing to see these Free
Channels. Because, they would be paid many rent to see the Free Channel. It is
not possible by them.
The
president of the combined Cultural Unity and noted cultural personality
Nasiruddin Yousuf Baccu has said that the matter of Free Channel stopping is
not a good symbol. This decision would be come a obstruction on the way of free
flowing of information. There had been some questions taking with some of the
channel, they were positioning near about opposite pole or our culture and mind
for refinement and the Govt. would make to a think taking with this channel.
But they did not such and took the decision to stop of all of the Free Channels
in this manner which have created many questions. I do imagine that this decision will be come
to any usefulness, but to rescue the interest for some of the fixed
businesspersons. One of the other matter
likely to deeply think that there was not stopped about the Channel of Hind
Songs and Dances, but has been stopped about the better Indian Bengali Channel
– standard of the functions not only developed, their news standard is also
cheerful. Our Channel do not show in India, to see
this, in the revenge base decision, this has been made and I do think such. If
so, it should be stopped of the Hindi Channels. And in this age of freestyle
information flowing, instead of revenge tendency, we should do that our
channels would be seen in India,
to find out this way through the discussion.
Package
Forum leader and famous drama director, actor Mamunur Rashid has said why has
suddenly stopped some of the Channels, the cause of it is not clear with me.
The Govt. should make it clear. In the matter of freestyle information flow, I
have also some of the words. Indian Channels will only run in our country, but
our channels will not shown in that country – it is not a logically right. But it is also correct that now in the name
of pay channel, which Hindi Channels are running in this country, what can we
do learn from these? In the case of
smooth exhibition, the correct principle is not yet prepared, it should be made
before of all.
Famous and popular
Pop Star Aiyub Baccu has said to the Jugantan. "I make a discriminate to a
open sky. Our channels do not shown in India and as
such, we do not use of them – the matter should not run such of
quarrel-dispute, but should to take it on the discussion table". He has
also said that we would must seen of
their channel, including this, there would be shown of ours.
