Duronto TV (lit. 'restless TV')[1] is a television channel in Bangladesh for children. The channel's test transmission started on 5 October 2017 and it commenced its full operation on 15 October 2017.[2]

Its goal is to help in the development of children by entertaining them with history, tradition and culture, including programmes focusing on travel, magic, science, sports, family and toys. The programming lineup features acquired international content, combined with local productions and foreign television series and films dubbed into Bengali, such as SpongeBob SquarePants,[3] The Adventures of Tintin, kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, The Penguins of Madagascar.

As of March 2018, Abhijit Chowdhury is the director of Duronto TV. Mohammad Ali Haider is the head of program and Amjad Hossain Arjo is the head of marketing.[citation needed]

The channel was temporarily suspended on March 28, 2019 when a fire broke out at the FR Tower in Dhaka.[4]
