Sin Po TV

Sin Po TV is an Indonesian private digital television network devoted to news broadcasting, operated by PT Karya Media Samasta. The network traces its corporate origins to 2014, when the company behind it was established, and it began broadcasting in 2022 under the name E-Channel TV, initially serving the Jabodetabek (Greater Jakarta) region through digital terrestrial television with the slogan "Family and Female". On 1 October 2023 the channel rebranded as Sin Po TV, a name inspired by the historic Sin Po newspaper that was published in the Dutch East Indies between 1910 and 1965. The rebranding was accompanied by an expansion of its broadcast footprint toward 34 cities across Indonesia. Sin Po TV positions itself as a news-first network, with programming built around national and international news bulletins, weekly news round-ups and current-affairs segments. Its on-air identity uses the Elephant typeface in its logo. Alongside hard news, the network has sought to project a message of tolerance and cultural inclusiveness; for example, it broadcasts the Hindu Puja Trisandya prayer nationally following Bali time (WITA), although the evening Trisandya broadcast can occasionally be delayed by other programming. After a period of trial broadcasting, Sin Po TV was officially launched on 16 June 2025, airing legacy programmes from Indosiar. The network has also pursued institutional partnerships, signing a cooperation agreement on 7 February 2024 with the Indonesian Army (TNI Angkatan Darat) covering publication of the institution's activities. As of the end of 2024, some regional stations — such as the one in Yogyakarta — were still broadcasting under the earlier E-Channel name, indicating a phased transition across its local network. The network's on-screen talent roster has included presenters and reporters drawn from other Indonesian broadcasters such as Metro TV, RCTI, MNCTV, GTV, iNews, Sindonews TV, Okezone TV, NET., RTV and Garuda TV. Sin Po TV maintains an online presence through its website and social media channels on Facebook, X, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.

The company behind Sin Po TV, PT Karya Media Samasta, was established in 2014. The television operation itself began broadcasting in 2022 under the name E-Channel TV, transmitting in the Jabodetabek (Greater Jakarta) area via digital terrestrial television and using the slogan "Family and Female". On 1 October 2023, E-Channel was renamed Sin Po TV, with the network expanding its broadcasts toward 34 cities. The new name was inspired by Sin Po, the newspaper that had been published in the Dutch East Indies from 1910 to 1965. The channel's logo adopted the Elephant typeface. Despite the rebranding, as of the end of 2024 some regional stations — for instance in Yogyakarta — were still broadcasting under the E-Channel name. On 7 February 2024, Sin Po TV signed a cooperation agreement with the Indonesian Army (TNI Angkatan Darat) in the field of publishing the institution's activities. After two years of trial broadcasting, Sin Po TV was officially launched on 16 June 2025, airing legacy programmes from Indosiar. In keeping with its stated commitment to tolerance, the network also broadcasts the Hindu Puja Trisandya prayer nationally on Bali time (WITA), although the evening Trisandya can sometimes be delayed by other programming.
