ATN Punjabi 5 originally launched on September 15, 2010 as ATN JUS Punjabi, in partnership with American-Punjabi broadcaster JUS Punjabi. Via a programming supply agreement, ATN launched a Canadian version of the American service.

In October 2014, the channel was renamed 'ATN Punjabi 5' due to a loss of programming from JUS Punjabi.
