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 a news channel called Indus News, that was an Urdu language news channel 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]
