PT Media Televisi Indonesia, operating as Metro TV, is an Indonesian free-to-air, television news network based in West Jakarta. It was launched on 25 November, 2000, and now has over 52 relay stations around the country.[2] It is owned by Surya Paloh, who also owns the Media Indonesia daily. These two news outlets, along with other newspapers distributed in different parts of Indonesia, make up Media Group.[3]
Metro TV offers Mandarin language news programs. It does not offer soap operas, although it had broadcast entertainment and multicultural programs such as the now-defunct tech show e-Lifestyle, the satirical news and current affairs show News Dot Com / Republik Mimpi (The Dream Republic), musical programming such as Musik+ and Idenesia, and other special or regional programming.[citation needed] Metro TV is considered to be the mouthpiece of the NasDem Party.[4]
Metro TV was launched on 25 November 2000 by Abdurrahman Wahid,[5] the fourth President of Indonesia. Metro TV was the first Indonesian television network to have been officially inaugurated by the Indonesian president, after RCTI.
On 25 November 2020, during the network's 20th anniversary, its on-air bug was replaced with the 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 visible in a light grey color. On 25 November, 2021, the text "METRO TV" in smaller size below the eagle was removed entirely as part of on-screen revamp.[citation needed] The full logo with text is still used for corporate purposes and other branding.
Since 3 November, 2022, Metro TV stopped airing over PAL broadcasts for the Greater Jakarta area, and then on 3 December, 2022, Metro TV shut down the analog terrestrial broadcasts in Bandung, Semarang, Surakarta, Yogyakarta and Batam before Palembang following the move on 31 March, 2023.[citation needed]
Metro TV broadcasts 24 hours a day, focusing on international and domestic news coverage.[7]
Metro TV broadcasts three 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.
Metro TV was the only news channel in Indonesia until 2008, when Lativi was rebranded as tvOne, dropping all sitcoms and soap operas, focusing on news and sports programmes.[8]
