My TV ( Bengali: মাই টিভি) is a Bangladeshi Bengali-language satellite and cable television channel owned and operated by V.M. International Limited. It began broadcasting on 15 April 2010, [1] and is based in Hatirjheel, Dhaka. My TV was founded by the late Omeda Begum with the goal to spread the Bengali language and culture. [2] The channel primarily broadcasts entertainment and news programming. [3]
My TV originally began broadcasting in around 2007 but was later shut down after test-broadcasting. [4] It later resumed broadcasting with the "Srishtite Bismoy" (সৃষ্টিতে বিস্ময়; lit. 'Excellence in Innovation') slogan on 15 April 2010, [5] after the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission granted them a license to broadcast on 20 October 2009, alongside several other Bangladeshi privately owned television channels.

In 2016, Begum's son, Nasir Uddin Sathi, became the chairman and managing director of My TV.
