TVRI Central Kalimantan (Indonesian: TVRI Kalimantan Tengah, often shortened to TVRI Kalteng) is a regional television station owned by TVRI, based in Palangka Raya, Central Kalimantan.
TVRI established a local production center on 17 February 1995. [1] Local programming did not begin in earnest until 9 September 1999, using a playback system, from 5pm to 6pm, three times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays), from a transmitter located at Jalan Yos Sudarso. On 14 May 2002, a fourth day of local programming was introduced, adding Mondays to the existing schedule. From 1 October 2003, the daily airtime moved to 4:30-5:30pm, then in 2006, expanded to a three-hour schedule, reaching at least ten regencies. In 2013, the terrestrial coverage expanded to Palangka Raya, Pulang Pisau, Sampit, Kuala Kurun, Pangkalan Bun, Kuala Pembuang, Buntok, Ampah, Muara Teweh and via overspill to some areas outside of Kalimantan.

On the afternoon of 15 June 2022, a fire broke out at TVRI Kalteng. [3] In 2023, during its anniversary celebrations, the station announced that it would improve the quality of its local programs, in anticipation for the next year's elections, in line with TVRI's tagline of being the "home of democracy". The improvements were also justified on the conversion of its signal from analog to digital. [4]
