IMG entered the Pakistani market in 2000 with the launch of its flagship channel INDUS VISION - the first independent satellite channel and a drama channel.
The response from audiences brought about INDUS MUSIC - a music channel.
Indus Plus (Indus News) was IMG's third launch as a 24 hour news, infotainment, and entertainment channel. The channel is the first of its kind on Pakistani airwaves as it offers a blend of periodic news updates, infotainment, and entertainment with each segment dedicated to targeting specific audiences.
G Kaboom was IMG's fourth launch as a 24 hours regional music, lifestyle and infotainment channel for the urban youth throughout the region. The channel provides regional music, entertainment news shows, red carpets, fashion shows, lifestyle, and infotainment programs.
