History

This section needs expansion with: the text translated from the corresponding article in Indonesian. You can help by adding to it. (December 2023)

iNews (Indonesia News) was launched on 5 March 2008 at SUN TV as a pay television channel. It later 2009, obtained a television license from the government to start broadcasting as a free-to-air channel on terrestrial television in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. The channel was launched as TV3 in those cities and aired commercials.

In 2011, TV3 stopped carrying SUN TV and was acquired by CTV Banten.

On 26 September 2011, SUN TV changed its name to Sindo TV which was part of the synergy of Sindo Media with Sindo Trijaya FM and SINDOnews.com.

3 years later, precisely on 23 September 2014, the Minister of Communication and Information Republic of Indonesia officially granted a network station permit for Sindo TV and broadcasting once again in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi with different transmissions. Then on 15 December 2014, Sindo TV was officially launched as national television in the "Luar Biasa! (Extraordinary!)" Soft Launching event.[1][2]

Sindo TV officially changed the name to iNews TV after the iNewsmaker Awards which was held on 6 April 2015.[3] In addition, the local televisions under this television network lost its identity and also changed its name to "iNews TV". For East Kalimantan, Kaltim TV changed to "iNews Tenggarong" in 2019 and it was relaunched on the digital terrestrial television frequency and instead affiliated with Ajwa TV in 2022.

On 31 October 2017, the "TV" word was removed, so it changed the name to iNews, coinciding with the launching of the new name for news programmes that aired on RCTI (Seputar iNews), MNCTV (Lintas iNews), and GTV (Buletin iNews) at the Indonesia Awards.[4]

While iNews is still clear at Telkom-4 at 108.0°, they use the Conax encryption replacing BISS for selected programs due to copyright protection in all sports programming since 2019 as the MNC Media other three television networks broadcasts are encrypted due to being exclusively contained for free-to-air terrestrial and certain pay television providers in Indonesia such as MNC Vision, MNC Play, K-Vision, Transvision, IndiHome, First Media, and Nex Parabola.
