On September 26th, 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. On September 23, 2014 the Minister of Communication and Information Republic of Indonesia granted a network station permit for Sindo TV and was broadcasting once again in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi with different programming. Then on December 15th, 2014 Sindo TV was officially launched as national television in the Luar Biasa! Soft Launching event.[ clarification needed ] [1] [2]
