TVRI Jakarta (officially LPP TVRI Stasiun DKI Jakarta) is a regional public television station in Indonesia owned by TVRI. It serves the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, Indonesia and surrounding areas. TVRI Jakarta studios are located in Jalan Gerbang Pemuda, Central Jakarta, at TVRI national headquarters.
The station airs on terrestrial analog and digital platforms, as well as via live streaming on the TVRI website and the TVRI Klik app.
The station began broadcasting on January 1, 1983,[1] as Programa Dua TVRI (or simply Programa Dua or Programa 2). That was about six years before the first Indonesian private television station, RCTI launched. The station primarily serving the Jakarta region from the beginning; in its early years, it aired more urban-oriented programming than its main channel (TVRI Nasional). The first program to broadcast was English-language news TVRI News for half an hour at 18:30 WIB, under the responsibility of the News section.[citation needed] The bulletin was relayed to TVRI Denpasar starting August 24, 1986.[3] English news returned to the channel as the weekly newscast Jakarta in a Week in 2023.
Full-time local broadcasting began on April 1, 1989.[3]
On March 26, 2007, TVRI Jakarta was launched,[4] probably transformed from Programa Dua.[citation needed] Later, the station changed its name again to TVRI Jakarta & Banten, reflecting the station's coverage area which includes parts of Banten province (as Banten didn't yet have its own TVRI regional station).
As of March 30, 2019, the name changed back to TVRI Jakarta.
On November 3, 2022, at 12 am (WIB), TVRI Jakarta stopped broadcasting in analog in Jabodetabek, and is only available through terrestrial digital television broadcasts on channel 43 UHF (multiplexing TVRI Joglo).
