Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has allocated radio spectrum 99.00 FM for establishing 19th Community Radio Stations in Cox’s Bazer of southern part of Bangladesh.
The Community Radio station name is Community Radio Saikat 99.00 FM initiated by The Coastal Association for Social Transformation Foundation (COAST Foundation).
The rural, disadvantaged and marginalized people of Cox’s Bazer will have direct access to discuss their own issues, setting a local agenda & amplifying voice through the Community Radio Saikat. Having a community radio first time at their doorsteps, now the community people will have scope to reflect on their problems, challenges, way-out and prospects in their local dialect in line with reducing voice poverty.
Community Radio Saikat 99.00 FM will contribute to promoting sustainable eco-tourism sector in Cox’s Bazar. Cox’s Bazaar Sea beach is the longest beach in the world. And this is definitely one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country. Located in Chittagong District, this sea beach faces the amazing waves of grand Bay of Bengal. Miles of golden sands, towering cliffs, surfing waves, rare conch shells, colorful pagodas, Buddhist temples and tribes and mouth-watering sea-food made Cox’s Bazar the tourist capital of Bangladesh. There’s a plenty of things to do in Cox’s Bazar. This is more than you can expect from a traditional sea beach. Another sea beach Inani beach is only half an hour’s drive from Cox’s Bazar. With the sea to the west and a background of steep hills to the east, this beach will mesmerize with its amazing view.
Cox’s Bazar pronounced [kɔksbadʒaɾ]) is a city, fishing port, tourism centre and district headquarters in southeastern Bangladesh. The beach in Cox’s Bazar is sandy and has a gentle slope; with an unbroken length of 120 km (75 mi), it is the longest natural sea beach in the world. It is located 150 km south of the divisional headquarter of Chittagong. Cox’s Bazar is also known by the name Panowa, which translates literally as “yellow flower”. Another old name was “Palongkee”.
The modern Cox’s Bazar derives its name from Captain Hiram Cox, an officer of the British East India Company. Cox was appointed Superintendent of Palongkee outpost after Warren Hastings became Governor of Bengal. He embarked upon the task of rehabilitation and settlement of the Arakanese refugees in the area.[5] Captain Cox died in 1799 before he could finish his work. To commemorate his role in rehabilitation work, a market was established and named Cox’s Bazar after him. Unlike many locations in the Indian Subcontinent where place names dating from the colonial period have been changed, Cox’s name is still retained in the city he founded.
Today, Cox’s Bazar is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Bangladesh, although not a major international tourist destination. In 2013, the Bangladesh Government formed the Tourist Police unit to protect local and foreign tourists better, as well as to look after the nature and wildlife in the tourist spots of Cox’s Bazar.

Presently, in Bangladesh 18 community radio stations are on-air and they are broadcasting 165 hours programs per day. A total of nearly 1000 young youth and youth women are involved as broadcasters in those stations. Community radio stations are going to be popular in rural Bangladesh; its approximate audience number is 6.6 million.
Potentials of Community Radio in Bangladesh are Community Radio has created scope for the poor and marginalized community to raise their own voice; it becomes the voice for the voiceless.
This new-media outlet opened scope to establish their rights of Information and communication in a social, political, cultural and environmental arena,
