Imedi TV

Imedi TV, also known as Imedi Broadcasting Company, is a television broadcaster headquartered in Georgia. It delivers television programming that includes news, entertainment, and cultural content to audiences across the country. As a media outlet, it operates within the Georgian broadcasting sector, providing scheduled channels and digital streams to viewers. The organisation serves the public by disseminating information and producing locally relevant shows. Its role as a broadcaster places it at the forefront of Georgia’s media landscape.

In October 2019, Imedi TV was among several Georgian entities targeted in a coordinated cyber attack that temporarily disrupted its operations and defaced approximately fifteen thousand websites hosted by provider Proservice. The attack displayed an image of former President Mikheil Saakashvili with the message “I’ll be back,” affecting government portals, courts, private businesses, and other media outlets. This incident highlighted Imedi TV’s visibility and potential geopolitical significance as a media target. While the attack did not impact critical infrastructure, its scale prompted speculation about state‑sponsored involvement, though official attribution remained under investigation. The event underscored the organisation’s exposure to cyber threats targeting media and public sector entities in the region.
