Channel i celebrates its 16th founding anniversary today, with an elaborate string of programmes chalked out for the day.
A colourful rally in the morning will set off day-long activities that includes cultural programmes by some of the country’s biggest stars.
An official cake-cutting ceremony is also scheduled at 7pm, where guests would include cabinet members, political leaders and civil society representatives.
The president, the prime minister, and the information minister have issued separate messages to mark Channel i’s founding anniversary.
On October 1, 1999, Channel i started its journey with the slogan “Hridoye Bangladesh” or “Bangladesh at heart.” Since then, it has become one of the leading private TV channels in the country, thanks to its innovative and constructive programming over the years.
