What IDX Channel does

IDX Channel is an Indonesian multi-platform business and financial news media company headquartered on the first floor of the Indonesia Stock Exchange Building (Tower II) on Jalan Jenderal Sudirman in Jakarta. The company operates a 24-hour satellite television channel — 'The Official TV of Indonesia Stock Exchange' — distributed via IndiHome (Ch. 119), Indovision (Ch. 100), K-Vision (Ch. 129), and First Media (Ch. 389), with content broadcast in both Indonesian and English. Its core editorial mission covers economy, business, investment, capital markets, banking, and financial policy, with particular emphasis on Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) corporate actions, listed company performance, and Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) regulatory updates.

The company's product surface extends beyond linear television to a comprehensive digital footprint: the idxchannel.com news and market data portal, mobile applications on iOS and Android, and active social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Content is organized into specialized verticals including ESG Zone, Syariah (Islamic finance), Banking, Technology, Milenomic (young investors), Inspirator, Ecotainment, and Economia. IDX Channel was founded in 2010 as MNC Business, rebranded to iBCM Channel in 2015, and adopted its current IDX Channel identity in 2016 alongside the BEI partnership; the digital platform launched in 2018. The organization is wholly owned by MNC Group, the Indonesian conglomerate controlled by Hary Tanoesoedibjo, and benefits from shared infrastructure with sister properties Okezone, Sindonews, iNews, MNC Trijaya, RCTI+, and VISION+.

The business model is consistent with a B2C financial media property: revenue is not publicly disclosed, and there are no published pricing models or select customer logos in the source material. The primary audience is Indonesian retail investors, with a deliberate focus on younger demographics reached through the 'Sobat Investor' community and social media. The company employs 1,001–5,000 staff spanning editorial, broadcast production, digital product, and SEO functions, reflecting the operational scale of a 24/7 multi-platform newsroom rather than a typical venture-backed startup. IDX Channel is privately held, has no public ticker, and reports no funding rounds — characteristics of a strategic media subsidiary within a conglomerate rather than an independent growth-stage company.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Kontan.co.id: Kontan is an established Indonesian business-news portal focused on markets, listed companies, banking and personal finance — directly competing with IDX Channel for online ad spend and young retail-investor readership in Indonesia.
• Bisnis.com: Bisnis.com is one of Indonesia's longest-running digital business-news outlets covering markets, listed companies, banking and macro. It overlaps with IDX Channel's web and mobile editorial on the same Indonesian retail-investor reader base.
• Detik Finance: Detik Finance is the business/markets vertical of Detik.com, Indonesia's largest general news portal, attracting significant financial-news traffic and overlapping with IDX Channel's digital audience targeting 'Sobat Investor'-style retail investors.

Direct peers

• CNBC Indonesia: CNBC Indonesia is the Indonesian arm of CNBC providing TV and digital business and markets news coverage for Indonesian investors — directly comparable to IDX Channel's product offering, target audience (retail and prosumer investors), and bilingual Indonesia/English editorial mix.
• Investor.id (Beringin Sejati/IAG Group): Investor.id (formerly Investor Daily) is an Indonesian print and online business publication with a long heritage covering capital markets and listed companies — a direct editorial competitor to IDX Channel in the stock-market-information niche.
• Bloomberg TV Indonesia: Bloomberg's Indonesian franchise delivers real-time market data, business news and capital-market coverage tailored to Indonesian audiences, directly competing with IDX Channel for the same corporate, institutional and retail investor attention both on TV and digital.

Broad incumbents

• Metro TV (Business/Ekonomi programming): Metro TV is one of Indonesia's largest free-to-air news broadcasters with dedicated economics/business segments. It is broader (general news) but overlaps materially with IDX Channel on business, market and economic coverage of Indonesia.
• Reuters Connect / Reuters TV Asia: Reuters is a global newswire and video-news provider whose Asia business coverage competes for the same international business-news audience in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia, including B2B content licensing and platform feeds used by IDX Channel-style outlets.
• tvOne (Ekonomi/News programming): tvOne is a major Indonesian free-to-air news channel that carries regular economy and capital-market segments. It is a broader incumbent in news rather than a specialist business channel, but competes for the same Indonesian TV advertising pool.
• Bloomberg L.P. (Consumer / Markets): Bloomberg's consumer and Asia-markets digital properties compete with IDX Channel for Indonesian retail-investor attention via markets data, business news and video content, even as its licensed terminal product targets institutional users globally.
