Bangladesh Betar (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ বেতার; lit. 'Bangladesh Radio'),[1] or BB is the state-owned radio broadcaster of Bangladesh, initially established as the Dhaka station of All India Radio in 1939. It was later made part of Radio Pakistan. After the independence of the country in 1971, Radio Pakistan ceased transmissions there and the Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra was renamed to Bangladesh Betar, which took full control of all radio stations in the country at the time.
Bangladesh Betar is a sister service to Bangladesh Television, which is also state-owned.[2][3] It operates several AM and FM stations around Bangladesh. It also broadcasts in six languages, including Bengali, to listeners in the country and overseas.[4] Hosne Ara Talukdar is the Director General of Bangladesh Betar.[5]
