antv (Andalas Televisi) is an Indonesian television network based in South Jakarta.
[edit] History
Antv was launched on 1 January 1993 as a local television station in the Lampung province. In the same month the government licensed antv for nationwide broadcasting and the firm moved its headquarters to South Jakarta. It owns 21 relay stations and is capable of reaching 154 cities.
Since 30 September 2005, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp owns a 20% stake in antv, via its Hong Kong-based satellite and cable operator STAR TV. Under Indonesian law, foreign companies can only have a 20% stake in local media companies.
The station has a 5% market share out of 180 million viewers in Indonesia, competing with 10 other national networks as well as local stations.
They also started broadcasting a 2 hour version of Sky News Sunrise from 13:00 to 15:00 since 29 December 2004.
