The network has a strong focus on cultural programming, such as a wayang performance (which no longer aired) and dangdut talent shows. It has recently featured occasional sport programmes and television series.

Indosiar airs some Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese dramas, including ''Goblin'', ''Hwang Ji Ni'' (or ''Hwag Jin Yi''), ''Jewel in the Palace'' (''Dae Jang Geum''), '' Princess Hours'' (''Goong''), ''Prince Hours'' (''Goong S''), ''Full House'', '' Boys Before Flowers'', '' My Fair Lady'', ''No Limits'', ''Style'', ''Brilliant Legacy'', ''Great Queen Seon Deok'', ''18 vs 29'', all from Korea; ''One Litre of Tears'' (or ''One litre no Namida''), '' Ultraman Mebius'', '' Detective Conan'', and '' Hanazakari no Kimitachi e'' from Japan; and ''Romance in the White House'' and ''Starlit'' from Taiwan.
