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]

Contents

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]
