Role of Satellite TV Channels

Hasan Mahmud, Bhola, 05 April: The role of satellite channels is very important in this modern age of globalization. Undoubtedly, satellite channels have added a new dimension to television, a mass media of communication and entertainment. Millions of people all over the country are the viewers of satellite channels. These channels are creating both positive and negative impacts on the people and culture of our country.

Our young generation is being much exposed to western cultures through satellite channels. In most cases they are following these western cultures in their life. It is true that they are learning many good things from various satellite channels. But some channels are telecasting violent and indecent programs for which our young generation is drifting away from our own culture, music, entertainment and modes of life.

As a result, our original or traditional culture is being ignored and the young generation is being demoralized gradually. In spite of immense educational values, some satellite channels are a great threat to our own culture and religious values. So, the government should form a committee to determine which channels should be allowed and which channels should be censored.
