Bisnis Indonesia, page 4 (27-August-2005)
The Indonesian Broadcasting Committee (KPI) prohibits PT Surya Citra Televisi (SCTV) to continue its plan to build 30 new transmission stations for the next two years. The construction of new transmissions stations is prohibited by the Broadcasting Law and may cause local economy to weaken. If new transmission stations are built, the people who inhibit local areas might not obtain adequate information about their region. As stated in Act No. 32/2002, if SCTV plans to expand its’ broadcasting network, for example in Purwakarta – East Java, it has to co-operate with regional TV stations with the consequence that the coverage portion for Jakarta is lessened.
