{{Expand section|date=December 2023|with=the text translated from [[w:id:iNews|the corresponding article]] in Indonesian}}
iNews (Indonesia News) was launched on 5 March 2008 as '''SUN TV''' as a pay television channel. It later 2009, obtained a television license from the government to start broadcasting as a free-to-air channel on terrestrial television in [[Jakarta]], [[Bogor]], [[Depok]], [[Tangerang]] and [[Bekasi]]. The channel was launched as TV3 in those cities and aired commercials.
'''iNews''' originally broadcast under the name SUN TV, which was established in June 2007. Its initial broadcast began on 2 February 2008, and the official launch took place on 5 March 2008. At that time, the channel was only available through subscription-based TV services such as Indovision, OkeVision, and Top TV (now all known as MNC Vision). The name SUN TV was meant to signify "Sun TV," symbolizing the hope that the channel's programs would bring energy and enthusiasm to its viewers.


Over time, SUN TV planned to broadcast terrestrially (particularly in the Jabodetabek area) in June 2008, but this was not realized due to the lack of government approval. However, SUN TV continued to expand its reach by acquiring several local television stations in various regions (such as Deli TV in Medan, which was facing financial difficulties, and PRO TV in Semarang), with stakes ranging from 50% to 99%, or by establishing partnerships. By the end of 2008, SUN TV was able to broadcast in 16 cities as part of a network. Eventually, on 17 November 2009, SUN TV began terrestrial broadcasting in Jabodetabek, in collaboration with a local TV station based in Tangerang called TV3.
In 2011, TV3 stopped carrying SUN TV and was acquired by CTV Banten.


Within its network (including TV3), the majority of the airtime was dedicated to simulcasting SUN TV's programming (which was available to subscribers of Indovision, OkeVision, and Top TV), while the remainder aired local programs (tailored to the tastes of the city but still adhering to national standards) and infomercials during empty time slots. With a vision of becoming a one-stop television channel, SUN TV offered entertainment-based programs, along with a range of informational and educational content. However, in 2011, TV3 separated from SUN TV and was later acquired by CTV Banten, causing SUN TV to temporarily lose its terrestrial presence in Jabodetabek for several years. Despite this, SUN TV remained resilient as the first local television network to broadcast 24/7 in other regions.
On 26 September 2011, SUN TV changed its name to '''Sindo TV''' which was part of the synergy of Sindo Media with Sindo Trijaya FM and SINDOnews.com.


==Branding==
3 years later, precisely on 23 September 2014, the Minister of Communication and Information Republic of Indonesia officially granted a network station permit for Sindo TV and broadcasting once again in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi with the different transmission. Then on 15 December 2014, Sindo TV was officially launched as national television in the "''Luar Biasa!'' (Extraordinary!)" Soft Launching event.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://nasional.sindonews.com/read/937813/149/sindotv-televisi-nasional-berjaringan-terbesar-1418696565|title=SindoTV, Televisi Nasional Berjaringan Terbesar|work=SINDOnews.com|access-date=2018-11-13|language=id-ID}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://economy.okezone.com/read/2015/01/13/278/1091536/ht-sindo-tv-telah-bertransformasi-menjadi-saluran-nasional|title=HT: Sindo TV Telah Bertransformasi Menjadi Saluran Nasional : Okezone Economy|last=Anugrah|first=Meutia Febrina|work=Okezone|location=[[Jakarta]]|access-date=2018-11-13|language=id-ID}}</ref>

Sindo TV officially changed the name to iNews TV after the iNewsmaker Awards which was held on 6 April 2015.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://video.sindonews.com/play/16624/inews-tv-resmi-berkibar-gantikan-sindo-tv|title=iNews TV Resmi Berkibar Gantikan Sindo TV|work=SINDOnews.com|access-date=2018-11-13|language=id-ID}}</ref> In addition, the local televisions under this television network lost its identity and also changed its name to "iNews TV". For [[East Kalimantan]], Kaltim TV changed to "iNews Tenggarong" in 2019 and it was relaunched on the [[digital terrestrial television]] frequency and instead affiliated with [[:id:Ajwa TV|Ajwa TV]] in 2022.

On 31 October 2017, the "TV" word was removed, so it changed the name to '''iNews''', coinciding with the launching of the new name for news programmes that aired on [[RCTI]] ([[Seputar iNews]]), [[MNCTV]] ([[Lintas iNews]]), and [[GTV (Indonesian TV network)|GTV]] ([[Buletin iNews]]) at the Indonesia Awards.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://news.okezone.com/read/2017/11/01/337/1806199/metamorfosa-inews-tayang-di-4-tv-nasional-menjadi-tv-berita-terbesar-di-indonesia|title=Metamorfosa iNews, Tayang di 4 TV Nasional Menjadi TV Berita Terbesar di Indonesia : Okezone News|last=Media|first=MNC|work=Okezone|location=[[Jakarta]]|access-date=2018-11-13|language=id-ID}}</ref>

While iNews is still clear at Telkom-4 at 108.0°, they use the Conax encryption replacing [[BISS]] for selected programs due to [[copyright]] protection in all sports programming since 2019 as MNC Media 3TV broadcast are encrypted due to being exclusively contained for free-to-air and all pay television providers in Indonesia.

iNews, short for Indonesia News, formerly named SUN TV and Sindo TV, is an Indonesian free-to-air television broadcaster founded by Media Nusantara Citra, a subsidiary of MNC Asia Holding. It broadcasts 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

History

[edit]

iNews originally broadcast under the name SUN TV, which was established in June 2007. Its initial broadcast began on 2 February 2008, and the official launch took place on 5 March 2008. At that time, the channel was only available through subscription-based TV services such as Indovision, OkeVision, and Top TV (now all known as MNC Vision). The name SUN TV was meant to signify "Sun TV," symbolizing the hope that the channel's programs would bring energy and enthusiasm to its viewers.

Over time, SUN TV planned to broadcast terrestrially (particularly in the Jabodetabek area) in June 2008, but this was not realized due to the lack of government approval. However, SUN TV continued to expand its reach by acquiring several local television stations in various regions (such as Deli TV in Medan, which was facing financial difficulties, and PRO TV in Semarang), with stakes ranging from 50% to 99%, or by establishing partnerships. By the end of 2008, SUN TV was able to broadcast in 16 cities as part of a network. Eventually, on 17 November 2009, SUN TV began terrestrial broadcasting in Jabodetabek, in collaboration with a local TV station based in Tangerang called TV3.

Within its network (including TV3), the majority of the airtime was dedicated to simulcasting SUN TV's programming (which was available to subscribers of Indovision, OkeVision, and Top TV), while the remainder aired local programs (tailored to the tastes of the city but still adhering to national standards) and infomercials during empty time slots. With a vision of becoming a one-stop television channel, SUN TV offered entertainment-based programs, along with a range of informational and educational content. However, in 2011, TV3 separated from SUN TV and was later acquired by CTV Banten, causing SUN TV to temporarily lose its terrestrial presence in Jabodetabek for several years. Despite this, SUN TV remained resilient as the first local television network to broadcast 24/7 in other regions.
