tvOne (formerly known as Lativi) is an Indonesian free-to-air news television broadcaster based in East Jakarta. tvOne is owned by Visi Media Asia (Viva) which is a part of the Bakrie Group.
As Lativi, the network did a test broadcast on January 17, 2002, and was then officially launched on July 30 that same year. The network was then sold by Abdul Latief in 2007 and rebranded to tvOne on February 14, 2008.
A part of the boom in national television networks, channels, and stations in the 2000s, Lativi was one of five new terrestrial television networks which were granted a license to broadcast nationwide in Indonesia. It was initially owned by businessman and Pasaraya Department Store's owner Abdul Latief, who was previously the Minister of Labor.
In 2007 ownership of the network was transferred to Aburizal Bakrie and Erick Thohir (as president director) due to debt, poor network management, as well as falling into anon-performing loan in Bank Mandiri for 328 billion rupiahs.
The television network officially relaunched as tvOne on February 14, 2008, at 7:30pm local time. It was opened by then president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. Anindya Bakrie (the son of Aburizal Bakrie) was named the Chief Commissioner while Erick Thohir was named as the President Director.
On February 14, 2020, during its 12th anniversary, the station ID was rebranded after 8 years being unchanged; including news openings and its themes. However, its logo remained unchanged until 2023 when tvOne adopted the flat design of its logo and removed the countries on the globe as part of its 15th anniversary. [3]

In late 2006, the network was involved in a controversy regarding a nine-year-old boy who died after suffering injuries while allegedly trying to imitate the staged moves of performers on WWE Friday Night SmackDown! The network decided to pull the show and all other WWE programs following public outcry. [16] Authorities, however, downplayed connections between wrestling and the death of the boy. The chief of the Bandung Crime and Detective Unit said at a press conference that there was no reason to believe that the child's death had anything to do with watching wrestling. [17]
