O Channel
O Channel is an Indonesian free-to-air television network founded by Elang Mahkota Teknologi dan MRA Media. MRA Media sold its stake in O Channel on 2007. Initially broadcasts as a local station in Jakarta, it broadcasts from 24 hours, 7 days a week. Since 2020, O Channel has increasingly established itself to broadcast nationally through digital television on SCM's multiplexing channel (SCTV or Indosiar), while increasing broadcast programs (especially sports matches and tournaments) and slowly reducing the portion of home shopping. Practically, it can be said that O Channel is one of the digital-based private television stations in Indonesia. In addition to the existence of analog transmissions that only reach a few regions, making this network now focused on entertainment and sports content with slogan "Home of Funtastic Sport".
