History

In 2012, PT Net Mediatama Indonesia was established. In March 2013 the company acquired PT Televisi Anak Spacetoon (Spacetoon) by purchasing 95% of its shares before the company was wholly acquired in May 2013. On 18 May 2013, NET started its trial broadcast using Spacetoon's frequencies on terrestrial television, limiting the latter broadcast to pay television.

Programming previously aired by Spacetoon was broadcast on a programming block called "NET Playground" or "NETTOON" that aired Mondays to Fridays afternoon until the block ceased to air a year later, and returned in 15 December 2018 to broadcast Cartoon Network shows, previously carried by Trans TV from 2016 to 2018.[2]

On 3 April 2015, NET officially became the main sponsor of the football club Persija Jakarta for two years, during the 2015 Indonesia Super League.[3] The following day, the network was announced as major sponsor of Persija's rival Persib Bandung, also for two years.[4]

NET. received a Suspension on Debt Payment Obligation (PKPU) claim from 25 November 2020 by Bambang Sutrisno.[5] Bambang withdrew the PKPU on 4 December 2020 after NET. paid the Rp2.5 billion debt.[6] Another PKPU claim, this one from PT Seribu Layar Sinema, was withdrawn in January 2021 after NET. paid the Rp13.7 billion debt.[7]
