As the first local Station in Indonesia, TVRI Yogyakarta initially broadcasted
in 1965. It was located on Jalan Hayam Wuruk and led by its first leader, IR.
Dewabrata. Some said that formerly, the tower was made of bamboo. But later, the
Governor, Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX, helped to built it in a appropriate way.
Finally, the tower was moved to Jalan Magelang Km. 4,5 Yogyakarta.
The first broadcast was done on August 17, 1965 as the media to broadcast the
speech of 20th Independence Day by the vice Governor of Yogyakarta, Sri Paduka
Paku Alam VIII.
Initially, TVRI DIY only broadcasted three times a week with two hours duration.
At that time, its radius was still limited on the area which has 10 Kw VHF, and
the format was still black and white. On 1973, TVRI DIY began to telecast everyday
with duration 2,5 - 3 hours after accumulated with the central station in Jakarta.
Since the first time, TVRI Yogyakarta tended to use the National central TV which
was called as "relay". It's all because TVRI was under the management of the National
TV. Therefore, it had to follow the broadcast of the central TV.
Programs made by TVRI D.I.Y are called as the daily program. Its pattern is arranged
according to the yearly program by TVRI Jakarta. After accepted by TVRI D.I.Y,
the pattern later called as yearly program. It means that the pattern of yearly
program of TVRI D.I.Y is a combination between the central pattern and the local
pattern.

regency of Magelang, Temanggung, Wonosobo, part of Klaten, part of Purworejo,
