Trans7 was established as TV7 based on issuance of a permit by Department of Trade and Industry in Central Jakarta (No. 809/BH.09.05/III/2000). 80% of its share is largely owned by Kompas Gramedia Group. On 25 November 2001, the existence of TV7 was published in State Gazette No. 8687 as PT Duta Visual Nusantara Tivi Tujuh. The logo itself is the letters "JO", which stands for Jakob Oetama (1931-2020), the co-founder of Kompas Gramedia Group. The logo is also loosely based on the Circle 7 logo that used by the American broadcast network ABC for its several owned-and-operated and affiliated stations.
Iraq invasion coverage
In the first quarter of 2003, TV7 aired daily relays of Al Jazeera during the U.S. invasion of Iraq through a news program titled Invasi ke Irak (Invasion to Iraq). In response, rival broadcaster ANTV started relaying Al Arabiya's coverage of the invasion.[2]
Indonesian society, in general, welcomed TV7's actions, especially with those who disagreed with the Western media's side of the events.[3] Despite rumors that then-president Megawati Soekarnoputri urged TV7 to stop the relay broadcasts of Al Jazeera, PR TV7 at the time, Uni Lubis, denied it. Even, she asserted that the relays were continued and disturbances in the relay could be resolved.[4]
Re-launch as Trans7
On 4 August 2006, CT Corp via Trans Corp authorized to buy a 55% stake in PT Duta Visual Nusantara Tivi Tujuh (as it noted in the book titled Chairul Tanjung si Anak Singkong; lit.: Chairul Tanjung the Cassava Boy). In conjunction with Trans TV's 5th anniversary on 15 December 2006 at 19:00 local time, the channel was rebranded as Trans7, making it the second CT Corp owned television network. With the buyout and relaunch, the network moved its office to Trans TV's offices.
Since 2 November 2022, Trans7 was terminated and stop of Analog transmission operation from Jakarta and its surrounding areas and switch over to Digital transmission by TransTV Jakarta operation during Modi countdown to midnight special coverage. since December 2022-July 2023, Trans7 has terminate of all Analog transmission by a Kemenkominfo mandate about ASO delay since 2022.
