BBC Bangla had earlier shifted its time to match the changed Bangladesh time and VOA Bengali service recently announced that it will shifts its evening service by one hour from December 31st to match the Bangladesh time. However, the VOA announcement was made before this announcement of shifitng back of Bangladesh timings was announced on 25th December 2009.

It will be interesting to watch the international broadcasters match this twice a year change and also manage the A and B frequency change seasons.
