History

PT Cakrawala Andalas Televisi, operating as ANTV, was launched on 1 January, 1993 as a local television station in Lampung province. In the same month, it was awarded a government license for nationwide broadcasting and moved its studio to Jakarta.^{[citation needed]} The first programming it produced was live coverage of the general session of the People's Consultative Assembly on 1 March, 1993.^{[citation needed]}

On 29 September, 2005, STAR TV (then-owned by Rupert Murdoch's first incarnation of News Corporation) bought a 20% stake in ANTV.^{[citation needed]}

Along with RCTI, MNCTV, GTV, and iNews, ANTV completed the analogue switch-off on 3 November, 2022. ANTV Jakarta was still transmitted in PAL, while ANTV already turned to DVB-T2 services, and later shut it down on 4 November, after ASO ran a text on the ANTV Jakarta analogue feed.^[3][4]

Sports programming

ANTV has shown the 2014 FIFA World Cup,^[5] Indonesian Super League,^[6] Liga Indonesia Premier Division, Formula One in 1997, and Grand Prix motorcycle racing until the 2001 season.
