BTV was launched in 1998 as Q Channel (an abbreviation of Quick Channel) by PT Jaring Data Interaktif which was owned by one of RCTI and SCTV executive, Peter F. Gontha. The first program to be held was Q Inspiration. Much of the channel's programming is targeted towards Indonesian executives and the influential upper income segment of society. Aimed at decision makers, the channel mostly features talk shows and infotainment programs related to business, economy, politics, lifestyle, and entertainment.
On 15 September 2005, the channel was renamed to QTV. [2] On 1 September 2011, QTV transformed into BeritaSatu, which became a news channel, in an attempt with major news channels in the country, namely Metro TV and tvOne. [3] [4]
In 2021, BeritaSatu was awarded a nationwide terrestrial license one year later.
On 11 October 2022 at 09.53pm (UTC+7), BeritaSatu officially changed its name to BTV after the inauguration of the Investor Daily Summit 2022 by Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
