MediaOne TV is an Indian Malayalam-language television channel operated by Madhyamam Broadcasting Limited.[1][2][3] The channel was licensed in September 2011 and was officially launched on 10 February 2013.[4][5] The main studio is located at Velliparamba, Kozhikode, Kerala.

Broadcasting of the channel was halted by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) in February 2022 after MediaOne's license to distribute the channel was revoked claiming national security issues.[6] Some criticized the ban, which was upheld by a division bench of the Kerala High Court,[7] as being based on undisclosed sealed information. Even though it did not broadcast to television providers,[8] MediaOne continued to distribute its programming online and via social media. On 15 March 2022, the Supreme Court of India issued an interim order staying the ban on MediaOne and allowing it to resume broadcast operations,[9] followed by a judgement in April 2023 that permanently set aside the I&B order.[10][11]
