History

Indiavision was launched on 14 July 2003. The network launched a second channel, YES Indiavision on 14 February 2007. Due to internal problems, it stopped broadcasting on 31 March 2015.
The company was in the news twice in 2014 when its editorial team went on strike over non-payment of salaries. Tax sleuths conducted a raid at the channel's main office in Kochi and its director, Jamaludeen Farooqi, was arrested on 4 March 2015. According to reports, the channel hadn't paid service tax to the tune of almost ₹9 crore.
Following an order from the Ernakulam Judicial First Magistrate Court, on 11 March 2014, the Kerala Police registered a case against Indiavision and some other media organisations, in response to a petition on charges of insulting religious feelings. Indiavision was booked under Sections 153A, 153 B, 295A, 298, 120B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The channel closed down on 31 March 2015.
