MNC Vision began operations on 16 January 1994 as Indovision.[1] Indovision started its service with five-channel C-Band Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) analog service. Using Palapa C-2 satellite for its transponder and broadcasting system, the C-Band DBS service features programming from international suppliers, such as HBO Asia, Star TV, Discovery, as well as local programming. Following in 1997, IndoStar-1 which also known as Cakrawarta-1 (designed and built by Thomas van der Heyden, founder of what later became Orbital Sciences GEO division), was launched as the world's first commercial communications satellite to use S-band frequencies for broadcast (pioneered by van der Heyden), which provided high-quality transmissions to small-diameter 80 cm antennas in regions that experience heavy rainfall such as Indonesia.

This satellite uses S-Band frequency, which are less vulnerable to atmospheric interference than other satellite frequencies, and are well suited to the tropical climate such as Indonesia. Cakrawarta-1 is managed and operated by PT Media Citra Indostar (MCI), established on 22 July 1991.[1]

By the end of 1997, the company anticipated terminating its analog service and encouraged its subscribers to switch to its digital DBS service.[1]

In 2008, a slimmed-down suite of channels was marketed separately by Indovision as Top TV. It was discontinued at the end of 2017 in the rebranding to MNC Vision.[2]

In May 2009, Indovision launched a satellite named Indostar-2/Cakrawarta-2/ProtoSar-2. It was later renamed to SES-7 in May 2010, at US ISS Regisatered Satellite Elevation, Azimuth and Vertical Angle, to avoid collision when launching and installation in space.[3][4][5]

Currently, MNC Vision has 5 channels in high-definition, including HBO HD, Fox Movies Premium HD, National Geographic Channel HD, Disney XD HD, & Fox Sports 3 HD.

On December 12, 2017, Indovision merged with Top TV and another separated service Okevision to form MNC Vision.[6]

On May 12, 2023, Warner Bros. Discovery Asia-Pacific ended its contract with MNC Vision and removing its 14 channels from the platform in all plans.[7]

Current presenters

The MNC News logo itself has undergone changes, from the beginning it looked like the MNC logo, then changed color again to blue in December 2010. Then, on June 25, 2014, MNC News changed the logo, which looks similar to MNC Home & Living but with the addition of a rectangle red. On May 20, 2015, similar to the company logo under other MNCs, the logo was changed to upright. 5 years later, the logo was simplified again by removing the MNC rhombus and red rectangle.
