About Channel I

Channel i is a pioneering privately owned television network in Bangladesh, proudly part of the Impress Group—one of the country’s most respected conglomerates with diversified interests in media, pharmaceuticals, aviation, and textiles.

Our journey into television began in the early 1980s, led by the visionary Faridur Reza Sagor, whose creative roots trace back to his work with state-run Bangladesh Television (BTV). What started as a modest media venture—Impress Telefilm—producing original mini-series and dramas for BTV, quickly grew into something far greater.

On June 1, 1997, Channel i officially launched as a satellite channel, broadcasting pre-recorded content 12 hours a day. Within just two years, we transitioned to 24-hour programming, making us the first digital channel in Bangladesh—a landmark moment in the country’s broadcasting history.

Today, Channel i is known for its high-quality programming, technological leadership, and unwavering commitment to cultural and social values. With a loyal nationwide audience and a growing digital presence, we continue to be a preferred platform for brands seeking meaningful engagement and maximum reach.
