History

Radio was introduced to Denpasar in 1950, a few years after independence, while television came in 1978. [1]

TVRI Denpasar started broadcasting on 16 July 1978 [2] from its studios at Renon. Initially, it relayed the signal of TVRI from Jakarta, whose line-up consisted of national productions coming in from its facilities in Jakarta and syndicated American shows.

The introduction of television thwarted the traditional music scene; by the 1980s, when local music programming became viable, it did not employ in-house musicians, but rather had kebyars that were used for guests performing in its studios. Local programming included theatrical performances, dance lessons and STSI productions. [1]

On 24 August 1986, the channel started relaying the English News Service from TVRI Jakarta, using a terrestrial relay. [2]

In the 2000s the station was renamed TVRI Bali. At the time, half of its programs were local and the other half relayed from Jakarta. [3] In March 2023, both RRI Denpasar and TVRI Bali teamed up for an "international prototype" for delivering information to locals as multiplatform services. [4]
