Its main feature is a television network, iaTV, which premiered in 2004 and which focuses on entertainment featuring people of East Asian and South East Asian descent. There is also some South Asian content. iaTV aims to be the Asian American equivalent of MTV or BET. The channel competed in certain markets with AZN Television until April 2008, when the competing network ceased broadcasting. It is not yet available in many American television markets.
They also operate The ImaginAsian, a renovated movie theater located in Midtown Manhattan that shows only first-run and classic Asian films, as well as several film festivals per year.
