This is a list of television networks and stations in Indonesia. Since the establishment of TVRI, Indonesians could only watch one television channel. In 1989, the government allowed RCTI to broadcast as the first private television network in Indonesia, although only people who had a decoder could watch; it was opened to the public on 24 August 1990. Private television (other than TPI/MNCTV) began broadcasting nationally on 24 August 1993.

Free-to-air television

The following lists free-to-air television networks and stations in Indonesia. Depending on types of broadcast, free-to-air television networks and stations can be received by either using a UHF/VHF antenna or free-to-air satellite dish. Since the enactment of Act No. 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting (Undang-Undang No. 32 Tahun 2002 tentang Penyiaran), all private terrestrial television broadcasts licences are granted only to local television stations. Any television entities that wish to broadcast nationally must affiliate with other local stations. Most of them air on both analog and digital terrestrial, as part of the broadcast system transition from analog to digital. All analog terrestrial broadcasts in Indonesia began to be phased out on 30 April 2022 and completely shut down on 2 November 2022.

Networks

The following lists television networks sorted by launch date and ownership; both commercial and non-commercial, also whether the broadcast coverage includes all provinces or only a few regions. Parts of these television networks previously received analog terrestrial broadcasting. Notes:

Television station groups

The following lists media groups (all of which are private) whose members are local television stations, but which do not air joint programs at the same time or simultaneously as with television networks.

Local television stations

Local television stations in Indonesia are divided into local public television stations (as Local Public Broadcasting Institutions or Lembaga Penyiaran Publik Lokal, abbreviated as LPPL), local private television stations, and community television stations. Due to the unclear distinction of 'television network', 'local bureau', 'regional station' of a television network and 'local television station' in practice, the list below, ordered by province, only includes TVRI stations, independent stations, and stations affiliated (which were formerly independent) with one of the networks formed after the Broadcasting Act signed into law while still retaining their original name.
