History
The channel was launched on 15 September 1999 as Alpha TV Bangla, along with Alpha TV Marathi, Alpha TV Telugu and Alpha TV Punjabi.[2] It was the first Bengali-language satellite television channel in India.[3] In February 2020, it was one of the largest Bengali-language television channels in India by viewership.[4]
On 30 September 2021, Bangladesh imposed a blackout on foreign television channels, including Zee Bangla, that broadcast commercials.[5] Two weeks later, Zee Bangla resumed broadcasting in Bangladesh, albeit without the commercials.[6]
