History
The channel began on-air in November 2018 as .idKU, a 24-hour documentary and lifestyle channel.[citation needed] A UseeTV (now IndiHome TV) exclusive in-house channel, .idKU was intended as "a place for state-owned enterprises, governments (both central and local) and private businesses as well as small enterprises to deliver positive messages about inspiring Indonesian works through exciting, entertaining, and educating television programs".[6]
On 28 October 2020, .idKU was replaced by SEA Today at 7:20pm Jakarta time after the final programme of .idKU 100% Indonesia music show.[7] In their launching, SEA Today was inaugurated by the Minister of State Owned Enterprises at the time, Erick Thohir.[1] SEA Today had transmitted via a SEA Today-owned transponder Telkom-4 108°2E for its Indonesia and Southeast Asian coverage.
In February 2025, PT Metra Digital Media, the owner of SEA Today, announced plans for internal layoffs.[8] Several months later, SEA Today ceased broadcasting on 30 June 2025,[9] with its final broadcast being Autoday, cut off shortly before its final sign-off.[10]
