Channel One Shut !!

Reader comment on: Shutting down private TV channels

My station Channel One is closed! This has been done intentionally by the Government to have their revenge on what BNP government did during their rule by closing down Ekushey TV. CSB and Jamuna suffered their wrath too. If irregularity did happen, the institution should be punished by a fine. Why professionals and journalists have to suffer due to such bad practice of the government?

The same kind of problem occurred in the cases of RTV and Boishakhi TV. However, those stations are not being shut down as people closely connected to the present government managed to buy those channels. Channel One belongs to people mostly affiliated with political opponents of the Awami League government and that's why we are going through all these troubles.

Irregularity is just a lame excuse here. Main reason behind closure of Channel One is revenge!!
