Destination guide

BTV Sub-station & Tower (Satgara)

বিটিভি উপকেন্দ্র ও টাওয়ার

BTV Rangpur opened in December 1978 in the Satgara area — one of the oldest television relay centres in the country. The tall transmission tower catches your eye from Terminal Road; many photograph it without ever knowing what it is.

History & significance

Opened in 1978; it still relays BTV Dhaka's signal rather than producing its own regional programmes — the demand for full-centre status has run for years.

How to get there

Satgara, beside Terminal Road — you'll pass it naturally moving through the city centre.
