Another feature of the site is the live stream facility for DW Radio and DW-TV programmes.Deutsche Welle's Bengali Service broadcasts two 30 minute radio programmes to Bangladesh and West Bengal every day. The initial user reaction to the site has been very positive with strong growth in the number of recorded visits, he said.Grahame Lucas said he was confident that this trend on dw-world.de/bengali would continue, especially after the introduction of new services such as podcasting and newsletters in the coming months.
