Global TV obtained a broadcast license on 25 October 1999 on Habibie administration, despite the prohibition of television station permit for particular groups or interests (including religion) as stipulated in the Broadcasting Act (Undang-Undang Penyiaran) No. 24/1997. However, before the station launched Bimantara Citra (predecessor of MNC) was acquired Global TV ownership shares in 2001 and changed the company's name to PT Global Informasi Bermutu.
