Nagorik, a subsidiary of the Mohammadi Group, was established under the name Jadu Media Limited. In November 2013, the democratic government of Bangladesh granted permission for the establishment of Nagorik Television under the auspices of the Mohammadi Group. The Mohammadi Group renamed the television channel "Nagorik." Finally, in June 2015, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) granted permission for the channel's broadcast.
