Top-notch packaging, high production standards and quality content have positioned the channel as the most preferred choice of the Bengali music loving audience.

Sangeet Bangla is available in most cable networks and all DTH operators across India.^[3]

Sangeet Bangla was launched on 15 April 2005 (Bengali New Year), under Sangeet Bangla Network Private Limited, incorporated in Kolkata with a purpose to showcase Bengali culture through the variety of music which it had to offer, ranging from classical to the modern.

The show Howrah Bridge, was earlier anchored by VJ Monalisa which was a hit, with a lot of audience interaction wherein the viewers would send in their requests and the host played them on demand. Not only this, but the morning show like wishing Shubo Janmodin (Happy Birthday) was a grand hit. The USP of the show was that it was hosted by a child artist and children who sent in their birthday information were wished by the host. The show played songs of kid's interest.

Another show that popularised the channel was O Bondhu Tumi Shunte Ke Parcho (O friend are you listening to me) that played romantic numbers requested to be dedicated to their loved ones.
