History
The broadcaster, originally known as B Channel, was co-founded by Sofia Koswara and Rajawali Corpora in 2008, at the time being relayed through a local television station in Cikarang, TVN (now part of RTV regional stations). In 2012, Rajawali bought Koswara's stake in B Channel. On 3 May 2014, B Channel changed its name to RTV during the Langit Rajawali special event.
In 2016, Mayapada Group acquired a 20% stake in RTV ownership from Rajawali. Mayapada later acquired another television network INTV (formerly Banten TV), which in 2019 was relaunched as MYTV.
