Zee Bangla is an Indian Bengali-language general entertainment pay television channel owned by Zee Entertainment Enterprises.
The channel was launched on 15 September 1999 as Alpha TV Bangla, along with Alpha TV Marathi, Alpha TV Telugu and Alpha TV Punjabi. [2] It was the first Bengali-language satellite television channel in India. [3] In February 2020, it was one of the largest Bengali-language television channels in India by viewership. [4]
On 30 September 2021, Bangladesh imposed a blackout on foreign television channels, including Zee Bangla, that broadcast commercials. [5] Two weeks later, Zee Bangla resumed broadcasting in Bangladesh, albeit without the commercials. [6]
On 25 August 2025, a sister channel named Zee BanglaSonar was launched, which, like Zee Bangla, is a Bengali GEC.
