The first- ever television talk show on the issues of public procurement was aired by the Bangladesh Television (BTV) at 10:55 am on May 6, 2009 (Wednesday).
The BTV aired the programme for 25 minutes. It would be telecast once a month as per the Bengali calendar on the BTV. According to BTV sources, airing time of the programme would be changed from the next month as the target viewers like government officials and bidding community members can conveniently watch it in the weekend.
