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.
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.
