Imedi Media Holding (Georgian: იმედი მედია ჰოლდინგი) is a private television and radio company in Georgia. The stations were founded by the Georgian media tycoon Badri Patarkatsishvili. The station mainly concentrates on news and analytical coverage, but broadcasts pop music as well, particularly at nighttime. Imedi means "hope" in Georgian.
The station is currently considered to be a staunch supporter of the Georgian Dream-led government since 2012. Imedi is currently part owned by Prime Media Global and part owned by the Imedi management team, after they acquired the station from Irakli Rukhadze (Hunnewell Partners) in February 2026.
Imedi Media Holding, together with Pos TV, was sanctioned by the United Kingdom on 24 February 2026 under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 due to its assessed involvement in the dissemination of Russian state-aligned disinformation, placing it among media entities identified as contributing to information manipulation in support of the Kremlin’s strategic objectives.
