GTV

**GTV** (previously known as Global TV) is one of the national private television stations in Indonesia. Starting from a local television station in Jakarta, GTV has recently expanded broadcasts to 5 other big cities. On October 11, 2017, Global TV changed its name to GTV in the context of GTV's birthday program called "Amazing 15".

GTV, which was originally called Global TV, was established on March 22, 1999, initially owned by ICMI and IIFTIHAR (via PT Titian Paraputra Sejahtera) under the company name PT Global Informasi Bermutu. Global TV obtained a broadcasting license on October 25, 1999. In fact, Global TV was intended for television with Islamic broadcasts, education, technology and human resource development.

In 2001, Bimantara Citra through its subsidiary, PT Panca Andika Mandiri (later changed its name to PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk) acquired shares of Global TV. At that time, its broadcast operations were in the RCTI area, Jl. Raya Perjuangan No.1 Kebon Jeruk.

On June 1, 2002, Global TV started trial broadcasts by relaying MTV (previously relayed through ANTV) for 15 hours a day, namely 09.00-24.00 WIB in the Jakarta area (51 UHF), Bandung (46 UHF), Semarang (37 UHF ), Yogyakarta (36 UHF), Surabaya (50 UHF) and Medan (31 UHF). Started his first show on trial broadcast, namely MTV Land.

On October 8, 2002, Global TV was inaugurated as a television station for young people, as well as a 24-hour MTV relay.

On January 15, 2005, Global TV began broadcasting its own programs which began at 3:00 pm-11:00pm WIB and 3:00 am-7:00am WIB.

In its development it also broadcasts non-MTV programs with a division of 8 hours for Global TV, 8 hours for MTV and 8 hours for Nickelodeon which has also been broadcast on Lativi (now tvOne). Initially, the cartoon from Nickelodeon was the most popular cartoon on Global TV, but now also broadcast non-Nickelodeon cartoons, including animation from Japan. Starting January 1, 2012, Global TV stopped broadcasting MTV shows and was replaced with 100% Effective.

On June 28, 2012, Global TV made a scene because Hary Tanoesoedibjo, the owner, had stated that Global TV would be used as a news television station (such as tvOne and MetroTV). According to one source, the plan to change this format has been designed since June, which can be seen from the addition of news programs (Bulletin Indonesia and Kilas Global) as well as political events, such as Indonesian Talk dialogues and political parody of What Indonesia Want Even the MNC is rumored to have approached Karni Ilyas to become Global TV personnel. Many suspect that this change is not far from Hary's efforts to make his own media his political mouthpiece, especially after he joined the NasDem Party and was caught in a tax restitution case. Ultimately, however, it appeared that these plans were scrapped, and Global TV remained a channel that focused on entertainment programming. MNC will only have a news channel after launching iNews TV in April 2015.

After the disappearance of the rumors of becoming news TV, Global TV seemed "giddy" in choosing its program type. Had tried to find luck with Korean dramas (such as Descendants of the Sun and Goblin) and telenovelas (such as Cinta Paulina and Maria Mercedes), however the broadcast of these two programs in 2017 was short-lived. Also had time to try airing sitcom shows such as Awas Ada Sule, Grandmother Mami Van Mounelen and Epen Cupen The Series, but most of them have the same fate. Even so, there are still programs that are broadcast on Global TV consequently and become its mainstay, namely Western films and cartoons for children (such as Naruto, Tom and Jerry and of course SpongeBob SquarePants, Danny Phantom).

Since its re-launch under the name GTV on October 11, 2017, GTV appears to have undergone major changes in the field of programming, by airing many reality shows (especially social experiment shows), quizzes and then adding variety shows. Starting from 20 November 2017 with the screening of Home Surgery and Shock Money, as well as Family 100 Indonesia. These programs were initially quite successful in boosting GTV's prestige, but then disappeared, leaving behind a quiz program and later added talent search programs such as The Voice Indonesia or The Next Didi Kempot. Currently, these kinds of programs are still quite a lot airing on GTV, although they are not as successful as they were at first. However, especially for cartoon shows, especially SpongeBob SquarePants, is still being maintained because it is enough to increase the rating of this television station.

As a result of this change in programming, live / postponed / re-broadcasting of sporting events on GTV had been on hiatus for two years after the change of the logo, however, starting from 2019 until now, GTV has started broadcasting eSports competitions / tournaments both from within and outside the country, as well as title programs. eSports special talks are Top Gamers, Star Indonesia eSports talent search, and the Indonesian eSports Awards. GTV and Nickelodeon also will not hold the Nickelodeon Indonesia Kids' Choice Awards again from 2018 onwards.
