History
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] Ismat Kadir Gama later applied for a license to operate Channel S the same year.[5]
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][6] The channel's launch was announced by Bangladeshi president Mohammed Shahabuddin.[7]
