PT Cipta Megaswara Televisi, operating as Kompas TV (English: Compass TV), is an Indonesian private terrestrial television news broadcaster.[1] It is owned by the KG Media unit of Kompas Gramedia Group, and named after its flagship property, the Kompas daily newspaper. Kompas TV was founded in 2008 and launched on 9 September 2011 with a concert titled Simfoni Semesta Raya.[2] Kompas TV's current slogan is "Independent, Reliable" (Indonesian: Independen, Terpercaya).
On 28 January 2016, Kompas TV was relaunched as a news-oriented network during the Suara Indonesia special event.
Just hours before the launch of the channel in 2011, the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission announced that Kompas TV did not have a broadcasting license. In response, Kompas TV stated that the channel was merely a "content provider" and was not required to have a broadcast license because its content could be aired on regional and international channels.[3] Kompas TV started its broadcast through local television networks in some Indonesian provinces. The local television networks initially featured 70% of local content and 30% of Kompas TV national programs,[1][4] but the majority now air national programming.
Other Indonesian cities were expected to follow by establishing local stations that relay Kompas broadcasts. Since 9 September 2011, Kompas TV has been available through these pay television networks (but excluding local programs):[5]
Kompas TV can also be viewed through satellite broadcasts from Telkom-4.
PT Gramedia Nusantara proposed digital TV broadcasting, but the government postponed approval pending completion of its National TV Digital Broadcasting Policy.[6]
