Indus News was an English language Pakistani international news channel launched in November 2018, part of Aap Media Network, broadcast on Paksat and based in Islamabad.[1]
The channel doesn't have any connection to the now defunct Pakistani media organisation Indus Media Group which also owned an Urdu-language news channel called Indus News in the 2000s.
History
Indus News was owned by Pakistani business tycoon and founder of Bahria Town, Malik Riaz.[2] Its Chief Executive Officer was Saniya Malik.[3][4]
On 14 September 2021, the channel temporarily suspended operations, citing "unavoidable legal and technical issues".[5] It was the second of Riaz's suspended channels, after Aap News.[6]
