Programming

In analog terrestrial, instead of acting as an opt-out local programming on TVRI Nasional (as in other TVRI regional stations), TVRI Jakarta is acting as a separate local channel from the very first broadcast. This kind of system is created so that the viewers had a choice between the TVRI national and regional channel. The system later implemented in the digital terrestrial broadcast of all TVRI regional stations, where the stations ideally has its own channel and did not need to opt-out from TVRI Nasional. TVRI Jakarta programming included its local newscasts, ''Jakarta Hari Ini'' (Jakarta Today), which airs daily at 16.00 WIB.Program Acara TVRI Jakarta
