ATN News (Bengali: এটিএন নিউজ) is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable news-oriented television channel owned by the Multimedia Production Company Limited, owned by Mahfuzur Rahman. It is a sister channel of ATN Bangla. It was launched on 7 June 2010 as the first contemporary news television channel in Bangladesh,[1] as the short-lived CSB News was shut down in 2007.[2]
History
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted ATN News a license to broadcast on 20 October 2009, alongside several other Bangladeshi privately owned television channels.[3] The channel broadcast its first test transmission on 1 May 2010, and officially went on air on 7 June 2010.[4] World class television journalist and media personality Mishuk Munier joined ATN News as CEO and chief editor in November 2010. He worked with the TV station until his death on 13 August 2011.[5] Noted Bangladeshi journalist Abed Khan took over the role of CEO and chief editor in 2011;[6] he remained in that post until his resignation on 20 April 2013.[7]
Md. Mosharrof Hossain is currently working as the Executive Director of ATN News Limited.
