TPI (Televisi Pendidikan Indonesia, Indonesian Educational Television) was first founded as an educational television network by Tutut Soeharto, the first daughter of former president Soeharto and the wife of Bimantara Citra's co-founder and RCTI's then-commissioner Indra Rukmana  [ id ] on 23 January 1990 via her company PT Citra Lamtoro Gung Persada. It began its first broadcasts as trial broadcast on 26 December 1990 and later officially launched on 23 January 1991, timeshared with then state broadcaster TVRI. TPI also used TVRI's Studio 12 as its operational studio.

When it was founded TPI produced a two-hour educational programming block targeted to elementary students, middle school students, and high school students, from 08:00 to 10:00 WIB. To do so, it cooperated with the Department of Education and Culture (now Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology). Programming time began at 6:00am with the country's first breakfast TV show produced by the channel, with the rest of the day dedicated to cartoons and other child-friendly programming, signing off early afternoon.

In April 1991, the block was expanded into 4 hours, from 08:00 to 12:00 WIB; later to 6.5 hours, from 06:30 to 12:00 WIB; and in 1992 TPI was already broadcasting eight hours in a day, from 06:00 to 14:00 WIB, with several hours being a joint simulcast with TVRI for its educational programming. On January 23, 1993, TPI began to air its first soap opera program as a distraction, while it expanded broadcasting hours to 15.5 hours, from 05:30 to 21:00. By then it gained its own frequency - TPI UHF Channel 34, later on moved to Channel 37 in 18 May 1993. The broadcast in UHF marked a milestone for Indonesian television.

1993–2003: Splitting service

In 1995, TPI moved to Gate II Taman Mini Indonesia Indah in East Jakarta, with the opening of new studios as part of the celebrations of 50 years of nationhood.

On 23 January 1993, TPI began to air its first reality TV show. Three years later, TPI launched its own news programming. After TPI ended its ties with TVRI on 1 October 1998, TPI split becoming its own dedicated channel and its educational programs were displaced by more soap operas and entertainment programming, while it began to air to more Indonesian provinces. In late 1997, the channel retired the original branding name in favour of the on-air name "Televisi Keluarga Indonesia" ("The Indonesian Family Channel") which introduced in early 1996. Its logo bore a resemblance to that of the Family Channel (now Freeform in US and Challenge in UK). On 18 May 2001, the TPI name was used but only using the simple word "TPI" instead. TPI began to expand more programs that related to music, sports, and cartoons. TPI's broadcasting of the Tom and Jerry series is considered to be a cult classic for Indonesian fans, but it also controversially and excessively viewing and teaching cruelty to animals behavior to anyone who watching it, thus destroying the educational television images on the eyes of society.

Since 2004, it has focused on dangdut programs. The most successful dangdut contest, Kontes Dangdut TPI (KDI, later Kontes Dangdut Indonesia), is a version of RCTI's Indonesian Idol , in turn a version of Pop Idol .

In early January 2002, TPI announced that it would broadcast Formula One auto racing, replacing RCTI from 2002 season. This lasted until 2004, after which the broadcasts were moved to Global TV. During this period, TPI also aired various mixed martial arts programming, including local MMA fights under the TPI Fighting Championship banner.

In July 2002, TPI announced that it would broadcast the Italian football league Serie A (replacing FA Premier League). The arrangement lasted only for the 2002-03 season, but the channel would pick up the rights to Serie A again for 2006-07 season.

2003–2009: Awards and acquisition by MNC

At the 1997 Indonesian Soap-Opera Awards, Deddy Mizwar's soap opera Mat Angin, aired by TPI, won 11 awards. The series won five awards the following year. Indonesia's favourite programme was Santapan Nusantara a culinary program hosted by Enita Sriyana, Nindy Ellesse (Alm), and Ida Kusumah (Alm). Kuis Dangdut (hosted by H. Jaja Miharja), the first and oldest quiz show, also won awards and Ngelaba a comedy program hosted by Akri Patrio, Eko Patrio and Parto Patrio.

In October 2003, Media Nusantara Citra, which also owns RCTI, GTV, and iNews acquired 75% of the channel. In 2005, new employees were hired, including Mayjen. TNI. (purn.) Sang Nyoman Suwisma, and Dandy Nugroho Rukmana.

2009–present: Bankruptcy and rebranding to MNCTV

During the 2009–10 broadcasting season, TPI stopped airing sports programming. In 2009, TPI was placed into bankruptcy after it failed to pay obligations to Crown Global Capital Limited, due to be paid in 2006. [2] The bankruptcy, as decided in October that year by Jakarta Commercial Court, [3] was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court in March 2010, following several legal battles, in which Tutut Suharto was accused by MNC management to have backed Crown Capital in order to regain control of the channel.

After the bankruptcy was overturned, on 20 October 2010, TPI rebranded to MNCTV, [6] amidst objections from Tutut Soeharto. [7]

In 2014, Tutut announced plans for relaunch of the original TPI, [8] although it has yet to materialize. In October 2015, MNCTV's Jakarta frequencies suffered from broadcast signal intrusions in which color bars reading "TPI 37 UHF" appeared for a brief period of time; [9] Tutut's TPI denied the responsibility for the hijacking.
