Public broadcasting in Indonesia

Public broadcasting institutions in Indonesia (Indonesian: Lembaga Penyiaran Publik, abbreviated as LPP) currently consists of three separate entities: Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI), Televisi Republik Indonesia (TVRI), and local public broadcasting institutions (Lembaga Penyiaran Publik Lokal or LPPL). This classification is based on Act No. 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting (Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2002 tentang Penyiaran), followed by Government Regulation No. 11 of 2005 on the Broadcasting Provision of Public Broadcasting Institutions (Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 11 Tahun 2005 tentang Penyelenggaraan Penyiaran Lembaga Penyiaran Publik).

According to Act No. 32 of 2002, a "public broadcasting institution" is defined as a "legal entity established by the state; independent, neutral, not commercial; and function to provide services for the public benefit."

Funding for broadcasters, as stated in Act No. 32 of 2002, comes from several sources, including broadcasting fees, the annual state budget, community contributions, advertisements, and other legal efforts related to their broadcasting operations. While the annual budget appropriation for RRI and TVRI is approved by the national government and parliament (DPR), the annual budget for LPPL is approved by the respective local government and local parliament. Funding sources for RRI and TVRI outside the annual budget are currently classified as "non-tax state revenue" and are regulated by government regulations.
