PT Media Televisi Indonesia, operating as Metro TV, is an Indonesian free-to-air television news network based in West Jakarta. It was established on November 25, 2000 and now has over 52 relay stations all over the country. [2] It is owned by Surya Paloh who also owns the Media Indonesia daily. These two, along with other newspapers distributed in different parts of Indonesia, are part of the Media Group. [3]
It is the only TV network to offer Mandarin-language news programs in Indonesia and no soap opera, although it had broadcast entertainment and multicultural programs such as the now-defunct tech show e-Lifestyle, the satirical news and current affairs show Republik Mimpi (The Dream Republic), musical programming such as Musik+ and Idenesia, and other special or regional programming. Metro TV is considered to be the mouthpiece of Nasdem Party. [4]

Metro TV was launched on November 25, 2000 by Abdurrahman Wahid, the fourth President of Indonesia. Metro TV was the first Indonesian television network to have been officially inaugurated by the Indonesian president himself.
On November 25, 2020, during the network's 20th anniversary, its on-air bug was replaced with an eagle icon of the current logo with the text "METRO TV" in a smaller size below the eagle, although the text was removed during advertisements, leaving only the eagle in a light grey color. However, the logo shown in the infobox is still used for corporate purposes and other branding. On November 25, 2021, the text "METRO TV" in smaller size below the eagle was removed entirely as part of on-screen revamp.[ citation needed]
Since November 3, 2022. MetroTV stopped airing over PAL broadcasts for Jakarta, and then on December 3, 2022, MetroTV shut down the analog broadcasts in Semarang and Batam over-to-air before Palembang began an analog switch on March 31 March 2023.[ citation needed]
In November 2023, Metro TV signed a content sharing agreement with state media outlet China Media Group. [5]
Metro TV has a different concept than the other networks in Indonesia. It broadcasts 24 hours a day, with programmes focused on news around the world. [6] Unlike other stations, Metro TV never airs sinetrons.
Metro TV broadcast three new English language programs: World News, Indonesia Now, and Talk Indonesia. It also had Chinese language programmes such as Metro Xin Wen, as well as IT, documentary, and culinary programmes. It has a motivational talkshow, Mario Teguh Golden Ways. It also shows business programming, including "Economic Challenges" and Bisnis Hari Ini (Business Today, no longer aired).
Metro TV also has an informercial block, usually residential, but sometimes with any price of product or technology. The infomercial block usually airs on networks and stations during morning on weekends. The block has no commercial breaks. This channel is owned by Media Group, which also owns Media Indonesia and Lampung Post newspapers.
However, Metro TV was not the first Indonesian network to broadcast in English. RCTI became the first Indonesian network to broadcast in English when it showed Indonesia Today on November 1, 1996. This English news programme was made with a specific target audience in mind: foreigners who wanted to know the latest news and more information about Indonesia. It ended in 2001. Metro TV later broadcast Metro This Morning and News Flash. Metro This Morning ended in October 2007. Metro TV was the only news channel in Indonesia until 2008, when Lativi was rebranded as tvOne by dropping all sitcoms as well as soap operas, focusing on news and sports programmes. [7]
Metro TV is a nationwide news channel that was launched 2000. Metro TV is broadcast from Jakarta with a network of 53 regional stations and reaches more than 3 million viewers throughout Indonesia.
METRO TV merupakan televisi berita pertama di Indonesia yang mulai mengudara sejak 25 November 2000.
The Bakrie Group created Indonesia's second 24-hour, Indonesia-language free-to-air national television news station, TVOne in 2008.
