This is not unusual that bhartis are blocking unofficially the airing of Bangladeshi channel in WB in particular. The reason is quite simple n that is quality of Bangladeshi channels are much higher then the funny bengali channel of WB like tara bangla, etv bangla etc. If Bangladeshi channel are aired then all the Indian bengali channel will loose their market share and demand. If any one look at the program quality of WB`s bengali channel and Bangladesh`s channel they can say it closing their eyes. N obviously it will also increase the demand of many Bangladeshi products due to advertisement in those channel like the way advertisement in Indian channel lure people of Bangladesh to buy those products to some extent.
N those who are claiming that people of Bangladesh are watching only hindi channels they are living in the world of fools. Due to rise in the number of Channel`s in Bangladesh... competition among the channel`s has also increased. Now they are producing more realistic and real time programs and tele film, daily soap opera. Now people has hardly enough time from turning eyes from these channels to boring indian serials which is based on common story `Saas bahu ki larai` or with one good and evil side and with unrealistic story in some big villa which does not represent the real dirt poor life of majority of the Indian. Compared to the hindi channels condition of the WB`s bengali channel is much worse.
But apart from the serials the reality shows of Indian channels are still popular in Bangladesh. May be the reason is lack of such type show in Bangladesh. But Indian Idol is loosing its charm. Sare Ga ma pa become popular towards the end. Same also the case with musical show of Star Plus though forgot the name. CID of sony TV is still popular. Horrow show like Ahat which used to be aired in Sony before my departure to Canada was popular. Do not know about other Horror Show.
In my trip what I have seen is that majority of my cousins remain busy with facebook or with some english movies which is aired in HBO or AXN or they buy dvd or buy engligh and bengali books. MTV roadies is still popular among them. Most of the time they are listening bengali or english music. Hindi music hits all time low. From the car it has been kicked out which people used to listen in the form of cassette or cd. My mom watches islamic tv most of the time and news of different channels n only one indian soap though do not know the name which was 3-4 before my departure.
In the wedding still hindi songs are played by the DJ`s. But in recent time many people has raised objection about it. So this culture is also likely to be changed in the near future.
So, not airing Bangladeshi channel`s with excuses like it is saturation or product quality is low then other WB`s bengali channel is not only lame but also laughable. This is just a way to save the butt of backward and lower quality WB`s bengali channel
If any bhartis `think otherwise please let us see some high quality drama of WB`s bengali channel.
