Starting 8 September 2017, PJTV together with four other local television stations across West Java (Cianjur's CB Channel, Sumedang's SMTV, Majalengka's Jatiwangi TV and Kuningan's TVK) changed their respective name to SKTV (Sunda Kiwari Televisi, Sunda Today Television). The change coincides with the cultural dialogue event Sunda Kiwari dalam Perspektif Indonesia (Sunda Today in Indonesia's Perspective). However, in August 2018 the name reverted to PJTV, and the local stations outside Bandung also readopting their respective old name.
