MTV (Indonesia)

MTV Indonesia launched on 5 May 1995, through ANteve, broadcasting in seven major Indonesian cities (Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Medan, Makassar, Bandar Lampung, and Surabaya).^[3] At the same time, MTV Indonesia, along with sister channel MTV Southeast Asia, was officially launched on the Palapa C2 digital satellite.

MTV Indonesia aired MTV shows such as: TRL, Fanatic, Diary: Europe and Asia, Most Wanted, Fresh, Alternative Nation, Asia Hitlist, Land, Rock, Absolute, Fresh, Connect, Wow, Non Stop Hits, 100% Indonesia, Ampuh and Screen. Like many MTV-affiliated programming broadcasts in other countries, MTV Indonesia was based on content from the United States and Asia, and non-English was subtitled.^{[citation needed]}

ANteve ceased airing its MTV programming on 31 March 2002, due to a financial crisis.^[4]

On 7 March 2002, Global TV and MTV (through MTV Southeast Asia) partnered to air MTV Indonesia on a trial basis, and officially started on 1 April 2002.^[5] On 1 May that year, MTV Indonesia was trialed on Global TV, and on 8 October, Global TV officially launched it as a dedicated music television channel, airing 24 hours a day.^[3] MTV Indonesia on Global TV would become one of the world's first free-to-air television channels to air MTV programming for 24 hours a day.^[6][1]

On 15 January 2005, Global TV reduced its MTV-affiliated programming to its 9am-2pm and graveyard slots and replaced it with original Global TV programming,^[3] following an agreement between MTV Asia and MNC Media owner Hary Tanoesoedibjo on 15 October 2004.^[7]

On 1 January 2007, Global TV and MNC Media acquired MTV Indonesia in an agreement with MTV Asia. Prior to 2007, MTV programs were taped in Malaysia, but following this acquisition Global TV and MNC Media produced MTV Indonesia programs in-house, under license from MTV Networks.^{[clarification needed]} Programs broadcast at this time include the MTV Indonesia Movie Awards, MTV Indonesia Music Awards, MTV Staying Alive, MTV EXIT, and the grand finale of MTV VJ Hunt.^{[citation needed]}

On 1 January 2012, Global TV stopped airing MTV Indonesia, but still aired MTV EXIT without the MTV logo. Global TV still aired MTV advertising until 2014, however.^{[citation needed][clarification needed]}

On 1 November 2014, MTV Indonesia relaunched with the tagline "1000% anak muda" ("1000% youth"), and aired on CTV networks in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Makassar, and Banjarmasin.^[8]
