Trans 7 (pronounced Trans Tujuh in Indonesian, formerly known as TV7) is an Indonesian free-to-air television network owned by Trans Media and owned by Trans Corp. For the first time, Trans 7 was the official broadcaster of 2018 FIFA World Cup together with the older-sister channel Trans TV, also with Telkom Indonesia, K-Vision and MNC Media (MNC Vision only). Trans 7 had broadcast 8 group-stage matches as well as shared broadcasting of quarterfinal, semifinal, 3rd place playoff, and final matches from Trans TV, also from IndiHome/UseeTV, K-Vision, and MNC Sports.[1]
The channel was officially launched as TV7 on 25 November 2001 at 5:00 PM local time. The final transmission and broadcast aired on 15 December 2006 at 19:00 WIB. The network was then sold by Kompas Gramedia and the new owners changed the name from TV7 to Trans7.
History
Trans 7 was established as TV7 based on permission of the Department of Trade and Industry in Central Jakarta No. 809/BH.09.05/III/2000. 80% of its share is largely owned by Kompas Gramedia;. On November 25, 2001, the existence of TV7 was published in State Gazette No. 8687 as PT Duta Visual Nusantara Tivi Tujuh. The logo itself is the letters "JO", which stands for Jakob Oetama (1931-2020), the owner of Kompas Gramedia. The logo is also loosely based on the Circle 7 logo that the American Broadcasting Company used for its O&O stations in North America.
Al Jazeera relay effect
TV7 was increasingly known to the public by the first quarter of 2003. TV7 was relaying a live broadcast of Al Jazeera every day during the U.S. invasion of Iraq through a news program titled Invasi ke Irak (Invasion to Iraq). This step was followed by ANTV broadcasting television station Al Arabiya about the invasion.[2]
Indonesian society, in general, welcomed TV7's actions, especially for those who disagreed with the Western media's "truth".[3] Despite rumors that then-president Megawati Soekarnoputri urged TV7 to stop the relay broadcasts of Al Jazeera, PR TV7 then, Uni Lubis, denied it. Even, she asserted that the relays were continued and disturbances in the relay could be resolved.[4]
Re-launch as Trans7
On 4 August 2006, CT Corp via Trans Corp authorized to buy a 55% stake in PT Duta Visual Nusantara Tivi Tujuh. The television network officially re-started broadcasting on-air as Trans7 was officially re-launch of the local franchise was held in conjunction with Trans TV's 5th anniversary on 15 December 2006 at 7:00PM local time, this date was set as the birth date of Trans 7.
