History

Launch

NDTV Imagine, a Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC), was established by NDTV Networks as its first venture into entertainment programming in a joint venture with NBCUniversal, which acquired a 26% stake for $150 million. NBCUniversal exited the partnership in October 2009. The channel officially launched on January 21, 2008, beginning broadcasts at 7 PM IST and offering four hours of original content daily from 7 PM to 11 PM. Led by CEO Sameer Nair, a former Star India executive known for innovative programming strategies, NDTV Imagine positioned itself as a premium offering for urban Indian audiences, emphasizing Bollywood-inspired narratives, family-oriented dramas, and celebrity-hosted formats that diverged from conventional soap operas. , prominent filmmaker and host, was appointed as the channel's creative consultant and , infusing a focus on high-production-value, innovative storytelling and star-driven appeal. Promotional efforts commenced in mid-November 2007, generating buzz through multimedia campaigns that highlighted the channel's commitment to diverse, engaging content across genres like light-hearted family stories, period adventures, music specials, and reality competitions. The initial lineup featured around 10 shows, including the premiere of the 11-day celebrity singing reality series Say Shaava Shaava, hosted by Ali Asgar with Karan Johar as a judge, at 8:00 PM, alongside dance instruction program Nachle Ve with Saroj Khan, epic retelling Ramayan, and family comedy Jasuben Jayantilaal Joshi Ki Joint Family. These early offerings averaged fresh episodes to deliver dynamic evening programming, aiming to captivate viewers with a blend of entertainment and cultural resonance.

Acquisition by Turner

In December 2009, Asia Pacific Ventures announced its intention to acquire a 76% stake in NDTV Imagine from NDTV Networks for $76.5 million, along with a $50 million investment in fresh equity, resulting in holding a 92% ownership in the entity for a total transaction value of $126.5 million. The deal, approved by Time Warner's board, aimed to consolidate 's position in the entertainment market by gaining full control over the Hindi general entertainment channel originally launched as a . The acquisition was completed on February 23, , making Turner the sole owner after purchasing additional minority stakes and issuing new shares. Following the transaction, the channel underwent a rebranding from NDTV Imagine to Imagine TV, featuring an updated logo to align with 's branding strategy. Sameer Nair, the channel's CEO, was retained in his role initially to ensure continuity during the transition. Post-acquisition, Turner implemented strategic shifts to enhance competitiveness in the Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) sector, including substantial investments in to attract viewers and improve .

Shutdown

On April 12, 2012, Asia Pacific announced its decision to cease operations of Imagine TV, attributing the move to the channel's declining viewership, inconsistent TRP ratings, and inability to compete effectively in the saturated Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) market. This marked Turner's second unsuccessful venture in the Hindi GEC space, following the earlier closure of its channel . The announcement came less than two years after Turner's 2010 acquisition of the channel from . The channel aired re-runs of existing programs following the announcement, with the final broadcast occurring on May 12, 2012, after which Imagine TV was removed from all cable and operators. Simultaneously, the international feed, Imagine , ceased operations. By mid-2012, the official website was closed, and all digital content, including episodes and promotional materials, was discontinued as part of the full cessation of business activities. Financial pressures played a key role in the decision, as low TRP ratings—such as a gross rating point (GRP) of 64 in week 14 according to TAM Media Research, among the lowest for major channels—prevented sustainable revenue and justified ongoing investments. The shutdown resulted in layoffs impacting approximately 150 employees, primarily from production teams, amid the abrupt end to channel activities.
