==History==
In 2002, Jamuna Television was granted a five-year NOC certificate to broadcast on both terrestrial and satellite television. However, in 2005, the BNP-led government revoked its broadcasting rights without explanation. After the High Court allowed broadcasting, the government appealed.https://archive.thedailystar.net/2007/03/16/d7031601022.htm
The original Jamuna TV channel, which had expired its certificate, began testing broadcasting in 2009 but was shut down in November due to alleged illegality.https://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/jamuna-tv-knocked-off-air In 2010, the High Court ruled the government's order valid,https://www.banglanews24.com/english/national/news/bd/141.details and on July 29, 2013, the channel was granted a license to relaunch.https://bdnews24.com/business/basundhara-chairman-at-jamuna-tv-launch Jamuna Television was officially launched on April 5, 2014, with British foreign correspondent Simon Dring joining as a staff member.https://www.prothomalo.com/entertainment/%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BE-%E0%A6%9F%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%82%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A3%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%99%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%97-%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%AE%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AA%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%9A%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B0-%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%81-%E0%A6%B9%E0%A6%9A%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9B%E0%A7%87-%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%9C
