Cable News Network Indonesia (known as CNN Indonesia and abbreviated as CNN ID) is a 24-hour Indonesian free-to-air television news channel owned by Trans Media in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery under CNN license. Broadcasting from Trans Media studios in South Jakarta, the local franchise presents national and international content, focusing on general news, business, sports and technology.
Programs are aired 24 hours daily via digital terrestrial TV networks, pay TV providers Transvision and IndiHome nationwide; and live streaming services for overseas viewers.
In 2007, Trans Media initially planned their own news-oriented web TV network named Detik TV, which was named after the online news portal detik.com (which was acquired by Trans Media in 2011). It initially planned to broadcast entertainment and news programs, where some of the news content would be taken from Trans TV's Reportase and Trans7's Redaksi news programs.[2] Sometime later, Detik TV was planned to be a digital free-to-air terrestrial news TV network.[3] In 2009, businessman Chairul Tanjung announced the birth of a strategic partnership between the then CNN brand owner Turner Broadcasting System unit of Time Warner (both Turner and Warner are part of what is now Warner Bros. Discovery) and Trans Media to launch a CNN-branded channel in Indonesia.[4] Therefore, the Detik TV idea was eventually abandoned.[5]
