An independent Bangla television Channel-S will start airing its programmes from London on December 16, the Victory Day of Bangladesh.

Chairman of the channel and President of British-Bangladesh Press Club Mahi Ferdous Jalil said this at an opinion exchange meeting at the Prestige House here on Saturday.

Ferdous Jalil said that the channel would initially air three hours programme daily, but it would go for 24-hour telecasting from April.

The TV channel would telecast its programmes involving Bangladeshi communities abroad, said Chief Executive of Channel-S Rafiquzzaman.
