Bangla Radio Canberra
Bangla Radio Canberra operates under the umbrella of the Bangladesh Australia
Association Canberra Inc. It produces a weekly program in Bangla containing
news, features, interviews, songs, music and drama that is of interest to
expatriate listeners.
Aim
To provide a voice to the Bangladeshi community in Canberra and to promote
Bangla language and Bangladeshi culture through its program.
History
In 1999 a number of enthusiastic members of the Association decided to run a
Bangla radio program for the Canberra community. With support from the host
broadcaster Canberra's community radio 2xx and a grant from Community
Broadcasting Foundation Ltd they began broadcasting the only Bangla radio
program in Canberra. It immediately became very popular among the Canberra radio
listeners.
In 2004 with assistance from Association member Shahadat Manik, a popular web
personality in Australia and his 'priyocanberra.com', Bangla Radio got a place
on the Internet. This has increased the listener base significantly as people
can listen to the recorded program anytime from anywhere in the world. Today
outside Canberra and Australia, people from over forty countries around the
globe listen to the Bangla Radio program regularly.
