Somoy TV does, specifically current affairs talk shows and news.https://www.dw.com/bn/%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8B-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE%E0%A7%9F-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%95-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%8B/a-45971189https://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2016/08/31/supreme-court-asks-for-footage-transcript-of-somoy-tv-talk-showhttps://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2015/03/31/somoy-tv-device-seized-at-khaledas-office-gatehttps://www.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/2013/04/28/diganta-somoy-tv-crews-sued-for-provoking-picketshttps://www.dhakatribune.com/uncategorized/2015/12/30/polling-day-attacks-on-media Alexa ranks their website, somoynews.tv, seventh in a country of 165 million people.https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/somoynews.tv The ''Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Bangladesh'' (2016) says that BBC Media Action placed Somoy TV's talk show ''Sompadokiyo'' among the five most popular of the 51 being aired on various Bangladeshi channels in January 2014. Common sense tells us that even if the amount of information available in English is limited, our readers would be served by a stub that tells them what we know - when it was licensed, when it began broadcasting, who owns it, what format it follows, how popular it is, what has gotten it into trouble with the authorities, etc
