Company

Indus Media Group (IMG) owns and operates Indus TV Network (Private) Limited and the Indus brand of television channels in various global markets.

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.[citation needed]

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.

IMG's in-house production teams continue to develop programming for underserved broadcast market segments. Indus Foods and Indus Chotu (kids), daily programming segments of Indus Vision, are such initiatives.

Over the years IMG has partnered with distributors to expand reach to markets in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, Middle East, and North America.
