Formation of commission

Broadcasting Act No. 32 of 2002 is the main basis for the establishment of the KPI. The broadcasting system is managed by an independent body free from the interference of the financiers or the interests of power that is the government. In comparison to the Indonesia Broadcasting Act 24 of 1997 section 7 which states that "broadcasting is dominated by the country's structure and operations are undertaken by the government", indicating that broadcasting agency was subject to the government of Indonesia.[6]

The democratization process in Indonesia put the public as the owner and ultimately controlling the broadcasting sphere. Because the frequencies are public property and limited in nature, then its use should be for the greater public interest. For the greater public interest means the media broadcasting services must perform the function of information of public health. The information consists of a variety of forms, ranging from news, entertainment, science, etc. The basis of the healthy function of information services is as set out in the Broadcasting Law No. 32 of 2002 of the Diversity of Content (the principle of diversity of content) and Diversity of Ownership (principles of diversity of ownership).[7][8]
