FYI TV18 was the Indian version of FYI and the second channel from the joint venture between TV18 and A&E Networks, the first being History TV18. It was a lifestyle channel with a similar positioning as TLC, Star Life, Travelxp and NDTV Good Times.
The channel was launched on 6 July 2016 and was shut down on 8 July 2020, almost exactly four years after its launch.

An HD version was soft-launched when FYI TV18 was launched on 6 July 2016, running on selected TV platforms in India, then fully launched on 17 October 2018 and made publicly available on all distribution platforms.
Until the official launch of the HD feed, the SD and soft-launched HD feeds shared the same logo with no distinguishing features between the two.
