History

The channel launched on 14 December 2013 with original programming - this had become a trend for Pakistani entertainment to have 2 channels under 1 company (ex. Geo Kahani, ARY Zindagi) but due to bad ratings, the channel turned to air reruns from 2015 onwards with little original programming and since 2016 it has been airing only reruns from Hum TV. Hum Sitaray dubbed the entire Season 1 of the Turkish Historical Drama Dilliris Ertuğrul.
