Bangladesh bans talk-show

Bangladesh's government has banned two popular live political talk shows, the private satellite television channel ETV has said.

"The information ministry handed us a written order saying that we cannot telecast out our live talk shows," a senior ETV official told AFP.

ETV, the country's first terrestrial television station, was banned by a court order during the previous Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led government in 2002.

It resumed operation last year after foregoing its terrestrial rights.
