MTV Indonesia launched on May 5, 1995, through
ANteve, broadcasting in seven major Indonesian cities (
Jakarta,
Bandung,
Semarang,
Medan,
Makassar,
Bandar Lampung, and
Surabaya). On March 7, 2002,
Global TV and
MTV (through
MTV Southeast Asia) partnered to air MTV Indonesia on a trial basis, and officially started on April 1, 2002. On May 1 that year, MTV Indonesia was trialed on Global TV, and on October 8, Global TV officially launched it as a dedicated music television channel, airing 24 hours a day. MTV Indonesia on Global TV would become one of the world's first free-to-air television channels to air MTV programming for 24 hours a day. On January 1, 2007, Global TV and MNC Media acquired MTV Indonesia in an agreement with MTV Asia. Prior to 2007, MTV programs were taped in Malaysia, but following this acquisition Global TV and MNC Media produced MTV Indonesia programs in-house, under license from
MTV Networks. Programs broadcast at this time include the
MTV Indonesia Movie Awards,
MTV Indonesia Music Awards,
MTV Staying Alive,
MTV EXIT, and the grand finale of
MTV VJ Hunt. On January 1, 2012, Global TV stopped airing MTV Indonesia, but still aired
MTV EXIT without the MTV logo. Global TV still aired MTV advertising until 2014, however. On November 1, 2014, MTV Indonesia relaunched with the tagline "1000% anak muda" ("1000% youth"), and aired on CTV networks in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Makassar, and Banjarmasin. On November 1, 2015, MTV Indonesia ceased broadcasting for the second time after Grup Karsa did not renew its contract with MTV's parent company
