MNCTV

MNCTV is an Indonesian private television station. It was founded on 1 August 1990, at first broadcasting only educational programmes, but has since become similar to other Indonesian TV stations, showing programmes such as quizzes, sinetron (soap operas), reality TV shows, sports shows, and recently, dangdut music.

On 20 October 2010, TPI officially changed its name to MNCTV. This was because TPI was not in accordance with the written context that TPI is dedicated to education, and therefore changed its name to MNCTV, in order to change the image in the eyes of the public. On 22 August 2011, MD Entertainment, one of the largest and most integrated production houses in Indonesia, acquired 25% of MNCTV stakes.[4] As the result, all soap operas broadcast on MNCTV are produced by MD Entertainment until the production house was taken over by Trans TV in 2017 and returned to MNCTV in the same year.
