History

PT Indonusa Telemedia was established on 7 May 1997, under the brand name TelkomVision, by a consortium of shareholders, including PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (Telkom), PT Telekomindo Primabhakti (part of Rajawali Corpora), PT Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI), and PT Datakom Asia. [a] Operations commenced in December 1998 with the early 200 subscribers.

By 2003, Telkom became the principal shareholder, holding 98.75% of TelkomVision shares, with the remaining 1.25% owned by Datakom. As of April 2011, TelkomVision had 200,000 subscribers. [5]

In 2013, Trans Corp CEO Chairul Tanjung bought 80% of TelkomVision's share despite being opposed by the House of Representatives. [6] Then-Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Dahlan Iskan made an intervention to the acquisition process. TelkomVision was considered stagnant in its revenue though has a well prospect as a senior in satellite TV industry. [7] The content development would be handled by Trans Corp, while Telkom focused on infrastructure provision. [8]

After the acquisition process completed, on 14 May 2014, TelkomVision was rebranded as Transvision, as TelkomVision shareholders held only 20% ownership, with Trans Media emerging as the primary stakeholder, holding 80%.

In November 2021, Toonz Media Group launched a bilingual kid's channel called "Toonz Kids", dubbed in Indonesian. [9]

In July 2023, KC Global Media pulled several channels from Transvision, citing "non-payment of contractual obligations". [10]
