SEA Today currently airs through IndiHome IPTV service UseeTV and MNC Vision's DTH Service in Indonesia since September 2022 and StarHub TV Singapore's IPTV Services.

History

The channel began on-air in November 2018 as .idKU, a 24-hour documentary and lifestyle channel. A UseeTV (now IndiHome TV) exclusive in-house channel, .idKU was intended as "a place for state-owned enterprises, governments (both central and local) and private businesses as well as small enterprises to deliver positive messages about inspiring Indonesian works through exciting, entertaining, and educating television programs".[5]

On 28 October 2020, .idKU was replaced by SEA Today at 7:20pm Jakarta time after the final programme of .idKU 100% Indonesia music show.[6] In their launching, SEA Today was inaugurated by the Minister of State Owned Enterprises at the time, Erick Thohir.[2] SEA Today has transmitted into a SEA Today-owned Transponder Telkom-4 108°2E for a Indonesia and Southeast Asian coverage
