History
In 2007, Trans Media planned to develop a news-oriented web TV network called Detik TV, which was named after the online news portal detik.com (which was acquired by Trans Media in 2011). It would broadcast entertainment and news programs, with some of the news content taken from Trans TV's Reportase and Trans7's Redaksi news programs. Some time later, Detik TV was planned to become a digital free-to-air terrestrial news TV network. In 2009, businessman Chairul Tanjung announced a strategic partnership between Trans Media and then-owner of the CNN trademark, Turner Broadcasting System of Time Warner, to launch of the latter branded channel in Indonesia. Plans for the Detik TV network were then abandoned in favor of the new CNN Indonesia franchise.
CNN Indonesia began as an online portal, , on 20 October 2014. It made its soft launch as a news channel on the 70th anniversary of the country's Proclamation of Independence (17 August 2015); the official launch day was held in conjunction with Trans Media's 14th for airing and 17th anniversary for corporate and official original birth date (15 December 2015). Yusuf Arifin was its first editor-in-chief.
