History

Global TV was originally established on 22 March 1999 by joint-venture of formerly government-backed Islamic association ICMI and The International Islamic Forum for Science, Technology and Human Resource (IIFTIHAR) under the company name PT Global Investasi Bermutu.[1] The station was intended for Islamic dawah, as well as education, technology and human development programming - it would become the first Islamic-oriented of its kind in Indonesia (the first Islamic-oriented television station later hold by Bandung-based local station MQTV in 2006). Global TV obtained a broadcast license on 25 October 1999 on Habibie administration. However, before the station launched Bimantara Citra (predecessor of MNC) was acquired Global TV ownership shares in 2001 and changed the company's name to PT Global Informasi Bermutu and thus replacing SCTV as RCTI's new sister channel.

On 8 October 2002, Global TV started and commenced 24-hours around the clock transmission broadcasts and remained sole MTV broadcaster after the station's official inauguration. After three years as an MTV Indonesia broadcaster, on 15 January 2005, Global TV began producing its own television programs for its 12-hour broadcast. On the same day, it expanded its coverage area to 18 cities in Indonesia and launch new slogan "Seru!".
