The channel began under the name IMN as part of the Iraqi Media Network (or Shabeket al-Elam Iraqi in Arabic) project undertaken. The Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) was the contractor for this Defense Department project.[citation needed]
Included in the programming is the very aggressive Political Actuality program "Burning Issues" that tackles the very sensitive subject of terrorism in Iraq, hosting both the victims and the arrested/convicted perpetrators.
Harris Corporation took over the project from SAIC[when?] and completed—on time and in budget—two TV channels, a national newspaper, and radio stations.
The channel currently broadcasts in Arabic, Kurdish, and Turkmen languages. Additionally, in December 2023, it was announced that a sister channel of the station would be opened that would broadcast news in the Syriac language.[1]
On May 31, 2006, Ali Jaafar, a sports anchorman for Iraqi state television, was gunned down in Baghdad.
