An image display apparatus and a method for operating the image display apparatus are provided. The method receives a broadcast signal, generates a thumbnail image based on broadcast information included in the received broadcast signal when the received broadcast signal is a broadcast signal of at least one of an audio channel, a data channel, or a scrambled channel, and displays a thumbnail list including the generated thumbnail image. This allows the user to easily identify the contents of broadcasts of a plurality of channels.
