PT Media Televisi Indonesia, operating as Metro TV, is an Indonesian free-to-air, television news network based in West Jakarta. It was launched on 25 November, 2000, and now has over 52 relay stations around the country. It is owned by Surya Paloh, who also owns the Media Indonesia daily. These two news outlets, along with other newspapers distributed in different parts of Indonesia, make up Media Group.
Metro TV offers Mandarin language news programs. It does not offer soap operas, although it had broadcast entertainment and multicultural programs such as the now-defunct tech show e-Lifestyle, the satirical news and current affairs show News Dot Com / Republik Mimpi (The Dream Republic), musical programming such as Musik+ and Idenesia, and other special or regional programming. Metro TV is considered to be the mouthpiece of the NasDem Party.
