It is based in Segunbagicha in Dhaka.[2] Channel S is the first ultra-high definition television channel in Bangladesh utilizing AI technology.[3]

History

[edit]

Channel S originally broadcast as an IPTV channel, but was later shut down by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission in October 2021 as it was accused of broadcasting illegally.[4]

It was officially launched on 12 June 2024 in a ceremony organized in the Jatiya Press Club auditorium with the "Shob Kotha Shobar Kotha" (সব কথা সবার কথা; lit. 'Everything is the saying of everyone') slogan.[1][5] The channel's launch was announced by Bangladeshi president Mohammed Shahabuddin.[6]
