Bangla TV manager meets iFilm CEO for media co-op

Managing Director at Bangla TV Syed Samadul Haque meets with iFilm's CEO Morteza Shamsi for media co-op.

Both sides agreed on cooperation to offer iFilm English TV on Bangla TV’s OTT (Over-the-top media service) during the meeting in Tehran on Tuesday.

The sides also negotiated to enhance cooperation in other media fields.

Bangla TV is a Bengali-language satellite television channel based in the UK and Bangladesh.

It was established in the UK on 16 September 1999, targeting Bengali audiences both there and in Europe.

It commenced transmissions in Bangladesh on 19 May 2017.

An over-the-top media service (also known as a streaming platform) is a media service offered directly to viewers via the Internet.

OTT bypasses cable, broadcast, and satellite television platforms—the mediums through which companies have traditionally acted as controllers or distributors of such content.

It has also been used to describe no-carrier cellphones, for which all communications are charged as data, avoiding monopolistic competition, or apps for phones that transmit data in this manner, including both those that replace other call methods and those that update software.
