History

In 1968, the station was started under Suyoso Karsono, a retired Commodore of earliest Indonesian Air Force who built his entertainment businesses that in the beginning pioneered Long Play (LP) recording of the Irama Records. He is a born musician/singer, musical producer, entertainer and broadcaster. Elshinta starts as the first amateur radio in AM channel and named after his youngest daughter: Elshinta Suyoso. At that time, the Elshinta Broadcasting System plays all kind genres of music from Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock, Reggae, including Hawaiian music. The station's name influenced Suyoso's other group’s/band’s name for off-air programmes, such as: the Elshinta Band played by his sons, the Elshinta’s Friendships Association (EFA) that produced all kinds of merchandise, Elshinta Newsletter, etc. and the popular Elshinta Football team comprised by friends and fans, including the Elshinta Hawaiian Seniors. Only after 1976, the brand name was shortened from the latter became The Hawaiian Seniors. [2]

Parallel to this, in later years, Suyoso Karsono famously known as Mas Yos established another radio station in FM channel of the Suara Irama Indah. This saw also the reasons why the second radio he built has no longer use his daughter’s name, which was after a new regulation at the time, - one’s can only own one radio station with the same name, thus he went public and Radio Elshinta then acquired by Salim Group. The Suara Irama Indah higher sound quality (now Jak 101 FM), is the first commercial FM radio in Indonesia. It is known, Elshinta further also moved to FM as a music entertainment radio with a few news insert including from BBC World Service and Voice Of America. However, under the new helm and due to limitations of news broadcast pre-1998, Elshinta has then completely abandoned its music programming in 14 February 2000. Today, Elshinta only broadcasts news and talk programming, except sponsored content and affiliations like NHK World Service. [3]
