History

The station was established in 1 April 1989[1] as Programa 2 TVRI (or simply Programa 2), about four months before the airing of the first Indonesian private television station RCTI. The station is primarily serving Jakarta region from the very beginning, in the early years it was airing more urban-oriented programming than TVRI main channel (TVRI Nasional). The single first program to broadcast was English-language news TVRI News for half an hour at 18:30 WIB, under the responsibility of the News section. The program later becomes English News Service (ENS), which still exists to this day on TVRI Nasional.

Starting in 2007, Programa 2 changed its name TVRI Jakarta. Later the station changed its name again to TVRI Jakarta & Banten (reflecting the station coverage which includes parts of Banten province, as Banten didn't yet have its own TVRI regional station), and as of 30 March 2019, the name changed back to TVRI Jakarta.

Programming

In analog terrestrial, instead of acting as an opt-out local programming on TVRI Nasional (as in other TVRI regional stations), TVRI Jakarta is acting as a separate local channel from the very first broadcast. This kind of system is created so that the viewers had a choice between the TVRI national and regional channel. The system later implemented in the digital terrestrial broadcast of all TVRI regional stations, where the stations ideally has its own channel and did not need to opt-out from TVRI Nasional.

TVRI Jakarta programming included its local newscasts, Jakarta Hari Ini (Jakarta Today), which airs daily at 16.00 WIB.[2]
