Malaysia TV Online Streaming
Indonesia spreads across more than 17,000 islands, with a food scene, a music scene and a news cycle to match. Following any of it from outside the country usually runs into the same wall: the language.
The Indonesia Channel was built to get around that. It covers Indonesian life entirely in English, 24 hours a day, and the live stream runs free on Malaysia-TV.net.
Behind the Channel
The channel first went to air in June 2014, launching out of Jakarta and Hong Kong. After two earlier runs, it returned in a rebuilt form at the start of 2026.
It is owned and operated by PT Melia Media International, a privately funded company working with an international team of broadcast professionals.
Its reach now stretches across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, the Netherlands and the United States. That spread is part of why the whole schedule is presented in English rather than Bahasa Indonesia.
What Fills the Schedule
Programming is deliberately mixed, so the tone shifts as the day goes on:
- News and current affairs — Newsbreak handles the headlines, while ASEAN Today looks at the wider region
- Food and travel — Foodiepedia digs into local cooking, and Best of Bali tours one of the country’s most visited islands
- Music — the I-Pop Playlist keeps up with Indonesian pop
- Lifestyle and talk — Hot Indonesia covers trends and conversation
- Sport and drama fill out the remaining hours
Because it is a rolling 24-hour service, the mix repeats and refreshes instead of building towards one fixed prime-time slot.
Tuning In from Malaysia
There is no start time to plan around. The channel is always on air, so whenever you open this page the stream is already running.
It plays in the browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or smart TV, with nothing to install and no account to create. A steady connection is really all it asks for, and the travel and food programmes reward the biggest screen you have.
Who Gets the Most Out of It
Travellers mapping out a trip to Bali, Jakarta or somewhere further off the usual route will find plenty of ground covered. So will Malaysians with family, business or study ties across the water.
It also suits anyone who simply enjoys Southeast Asian cooking, music and culture, and would rather watch it in English than keep up with subtitles.

Conclusion
