The network, which originally launched on May 5, 1995 on ANteve, was the fifth affiliate launched under the MTV brand. In 2002, it was one of the first MTV-affiliates to broadcast for 24 hours a day free-to-air over UHF. MTV Indonesia was part of the programming block on ANteve along with other MTV Asia programs. It moved to the newly inaugurated Global TV network on March 7, 2002. It ceased broadcasting on November 1, 2015. However, it continues on social media.

## History

MTV Indonesia launched on May 5, 1995 through ANteve, broadcasting in seven major Indonesian cities (Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Medan, Makassar, Bandar Lampung, and Surabaya). At the same time, MTV Indonesia along with sister channel MTV Southeast Asia was officially launched on the Palapa C2 digital satellite.
MTV Indonesia aired MTV shows such as TRL, Fanatic, Diary: Europe and Asia, Most Wanted, Fresh, Alternative Nation, Asia Hitlist, Land, Rock, Absolute, Fresh, Connect, Wow, Non Stop Hits, 100% Indonesia, Ampuh and Screen. Like many MTV-affiliated programming broadcast in other countries, MTV Indonesia is based on content from the United States, Asia and non-English is subtitled.
ANteve ceased airing its MTV programming on March 31, 2002 due to a financial crisis.
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, MTV Indonesia was trialed on Global TV, and on October 8, Global TV officially launched 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 15, 2005, Global TV reduced its MTV-affiliated programming to its 9am-2pm and graveyard slots and replaced it with original Global TV programming after agreement between MTV Asia and MNC Media owner Hary Tanoesoedibjo on October 15, 2004.
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. However, Global TV still aired MTV advertising until 2014.
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 Viacom.
