In 2007, Trans Media initially planned their own news-oriented web TV network named Detik TV, which was named after the online news portal detik.com (which was acquired by Trans Media in 2011). It initially planned to broadcast entertainment and news programs, where some of the news content would be taken from Trans TV's Reportase and Trans7's Redaksi news programs.[2] Sometime later, Detik TV was planned to be a digital free-to-air terrestrial news TV network.[3] In 2009, businessman Chairul Tanjung announced the birth of a strategic partnership between the then CNN brand owner Turner Broadcasting System unit of Time Warner (both Turner and Warner are part of what is now Warner Bros. Discovery) and Trans Media to launch a CNN-branded channel in Indonesia.[4] Therefore, the Detik TV idea was eventually abandoned.[5]
CNN Indonesia began as an online portal, CNNIndonesia.com, on 20 October 2014 with Yusuf Arifin as editor in chief. It made its soft launching as a news channel in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of the country's Proclamation of Independence on 17 August 2015; official launch of the local franchise was held in conjunction with Trans Media's 14th anniversary on 15 December 2015. CNN Indonesia was exclusive on TransVision until TVRI DKI Jakarta tried to Limited Free-to-air trial and then moved to 40 UHF TransMedia Jakarta multiplexer.
