TVRI North Sulawesi live stream

TVRI North Sulawesi online television

TVRI North Sulawesi (TVRI Sulawesi Utara or TVRI Sulut) is the regional public broadcasting station of TVRI (Televisi Republik Indonesia) serving North Sulawesi Province (Provinsi Sulawesi Utara) on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The station is headquartered in Manado, the provincial capital, specifically located at Puncak Tikala, Kota Manado. As a dedicated source for online television, TVRI North Sulawesi is led by Kepala Stasiun Stella Adriani E. Purukan, S.Sos., MAP (as of August 2025). The station operates as a public broadcasting institution (LPP) under the national TVRI network and broadcasts a mix of national TVRI relays and local content from North Sulawesi.

The programming schedule allows viewers to watch live channel coverage of local news, public dialogue, economic discussions, and community engagement programs. The station produces the flagship local news program “Sulut Hari Ini“ (North Sulawesi Today), a daily news bulletin covering regional events across the province. The station regularly airs “Forum Publik“ (Public Forum), a talk show addressing economic and policy issues, which featured Kepala BPS Provinsi Sulawesi Utara Asim Saputra discussing the theme "Wajah Ekonomi Sulut di Tengah Krisis Global" (The Face of North Sulawesi's Economy Amid the Global Crisis) and again as a speaker in June 2020 discussing economic growth and public policy studies in North Sulawesi Province. The station also produces programs that highlight local community empowerment, regional potential, agriculture, plantation management, livestock farming, and local business development. Cultural programming includes coverage of traditional performances such as the Maengket dance, Kolintang music performances, and features on local tourism destinations.

The station has recently completed a major digital infrastructure expansion. Following the Analog Switch-Off (ASO) policy implemented by the Indonesian government in 2022, the analog transmitter at Makaweimben Tondano in Minahasa ceased operations, leaving viewers in several districts unable to receive TVRI broadcasts. Resident groups, including from Langowan, approached TVRI Sulut requesting a solution to restore access to local information and programming. In response, LPP TVRI under Director Utama Iman Brotoseno provided special attention to broadcast continuity and authorized the installation of a new 400-watt digital transmitter at the Makaweimben Tondano tower, which became operational in August 2025. This strategic transmission unit covers Minahasa Regency, Bitung City, North Minahasa Regency, parts of Manado City, and parts of Tomohon City, with residents in Langowan reporting significantly improved broadcast quality with clearer digital pictures compared to the previous analog signal. Local community leaders have expressed hope that TVRI will remain consistent in preserving local culture through educational programming and cultural identity reinforcement tailored to North Sulawesi's local wisdom.

TVRI North Sulawesi serves as the official broadcaster for major international sporting events through the national TVRI network, including serving as the Official Broadcaster for the FIFA World Cup 2026 for Indonesia. The station celebrated the 63rd anniversary of TVRI's national founding on August 24, 2025, with a flag ceremony at the Puncak Tikala headquarters in Manado, conducted in traditional and national batik attire, which also included the awarding of the Satyalancana Karya Satya honorary service medal from President Prabowo Subianto to 16 civil servant employees of TVRI North Sulawesi Station. The station holds a permanent broadcasting license from the Kementerian Komunikasi dan Digital Republik Indonesia and maintains its role as a public broadcaster providing information, education, and quality entertainment to the community.

For audiences seeking a reliable live stream, TVRI North Sulawesi is widely available as a free-to-air service via digital terrestrial television (DVB-T2). Viewers in coverage areas, including Minahasa, Bitung City, North Minahasa, and parts of Manado and Tomohon, can receive the station on UHF channels assigned to the TVRI North Sulawesi multiplex.
