tvOne, formerly known asLativi, is an Indonesianfree-to-air newstelevision broadcaster based inEast Jakarta. It is owned byVisi Media Asia (Viva), which is a part of theBakrie Group. The network made a test broadcast as Lativi on January 17, 2002, and was launched on July 30 of that year. It was sold byAbdul Latief in 2007, and was rebranded tvOne on February 14, 2008.
During the 2000s, Lativi was one of five newterrestrial television networks which were granted a license to broadcast nationwide in Indonesia. It was initially owned by Pasaraya Department Store owner and former Minister of LaborAbdul Latief.
In 2007, ownership of the network was transferred toAburizal Bakrie andErick Thohir. The network relaunched as tvOne on February 14, 2008. On February 14, 2020, for its 12th anniversary, the station ID and themes were revised. Its logo was unchanged until the network's 15th anniversary in 2023.[3]
tvOne broadcasts news and sports. It provides general news and current-affairs programming during the day, with sports and live events during the afternoon, evening and weekend. In addition to its daily news bulletins, tvOne airs a three-minute news summary every hour.[4] During legislative elections and presidential and vice-presidential election debates, tvOne has high ratings.[5]
In late 2006, the network was involved in a controversy when a nine-year-old boy died of injuries while reportedly trying to imitate the staged moves of performers onWWE Friday Night SmackDown! The network decided to pull the show and all other WWE programs after a public outcry.[6] Authorities downplayed connections between wrestling and the boy's death, and the chief of the Bandung Crime and Detective Unit said at a press conference that there was no reason to believe that the his death had anything to do with watching wrestling.[7]
