List of television stations in Indonesia
This is a list of television networks and stations in Indonesia. For 27 years, Indonesians could only watch one television channel TVRI. In 1989 the government finally allowed RCTI to broadcast as the first private television station in Indonesia, although only people who have a satellite dish and decoder could watch.
National networks and channels
Free-to-air
Depending on types of broadcast, free-to-air television networks and stations can be received by either using a UHF/VHF antenna or free-to-air satellite dish.
The following lists free-to-air television networks, sort by launch date and ownership. Since the enactment of Act No. 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting (Undang-Undang No. 32 Tahun 2002 tentang Penyiaran), all private terrestrial television broadcasts licences are granted only to local television stations. Any television entities that wish to broadcast nationally must affiliate with other local stations.
Note: Unless cited, some number of affiliates/transmitters are sourced from respective network articles in Wikipedia (either Indonesian or English) without any references. In this case, reliable sources is needed.
