TPI (Televisi Pendidikan Indonesia, Indonesian Educational Television) was first founded as an educational television station by Tutut Soeharto, the first daughter of former president Soeharto on 1 August 1990 via her company PT. Cipta Lamtoro Gung Persada. It began its first broadcasts on 2 January 1991, timeshared with then state broadcaster TVRI. TPI also use TVRI's Studio 12 as its operational studio.

TPI broadcasts two-hour educational programming block targeted to elementary students, junior high school students, and high school students, from 08:00 to 10:00 WIB. To do so, it cooperated with the Department of Education and Culture.

On 23 January 1993, TPI began to air its first reality TV show. After TPI ended its ties with TVRI on 25 August 1997, creating its own dedicated channel and its educational programs were displaced by more soap operas and entertainment programming. In 1997, the channel retired the original branding name "Televisi Publiksiaran Indonesia" ("Indonesian Public Broadcasting Television") in favour of the on-air name "Televisi Keluarga Indonesia" ("Indonesian Family Television"). On 18 May 2001, the TPI name was used but only using the simple word "TPI" instead. TPI began to expand more programs that related to musics, sports, and cartoons.

Since 2004, it has focused on dangdut programs. The most successful dangdut contest, Kontes Dangdut TPI (KDI, later Kontes Dangdut Indonesia), is a version of RCTI's Indonesian Idol.

On 12 February 2002, TPI announced that it would broadcast Formula One racing (known as TPI Sport and Racing World) to replace RCTI as the official F1 station, due to financial problems.

On 2002−03, TPI announced that it would broadcast for Italian football league Serie A.

During its 2009-2010 season, due to technical reasons, TPI did not air its sport shows. On 20 October 2009, a controversial report stated that a communications expert from the University of Indonesia, Ade Armando, had reviewed decisions of the judges who were willing to pull entertainment programs from TPI, since it should have educational programs instead. Armando said that it must be the decision of the Commercial Court (PN) to grant the request of the Central Jakarta bankruptcy PT Global Crown Capital Limited on PT TPI reviewed further.[1]

The handling of cases involving the mass media can not be equated with the handling of other service companies. Because, not all people are able and capable of using it, so that the handling had to be excluded. "It looks very sloppy, not equal," he said. In this bankruptcy decision, according to Ade, a loss not only experienced by the company but also harmed the public.[1]

Anticipating similar things, there must be a joint effort of several parties, such as the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI), the Association of Private Television, and other stakeholders. Especially against the decision issued unilaterally and awkward legal institutions.[2]

Decisions of bankruptcy has also been supported from the Parliament in the legal process underway in the level of the Indonesian Supreme Court. Support was expressed Marzuki Alie when receiving the visit of Directors of TPI in the study of the DPR, Senayan, Jakarta, on 25 November 2009.[3]

MNCTV logo used from 2010 October 2010 until 19 May 2015. After that, the logo was straightened.

On 20 October 2010, TPI officially changed its name to MNCTV. This was because TPI was not in accordance with the written context that TPI is dedicated to education, and therefore changed its name to MNCTV, in order to change the image in the eyes of the public. On 22 August 2011, MD Entertainment, one of the largest and most integrated production houses in Indonesia, acquired 25% of MNCTV stakes.[4] As the result, all soap operas broadcast on MNCTV are produced by MD Entertainment until the production house was taken over by Trans TV in 2017 and returned to MNCTV in the same year.
