History edit
Before the creation of MQTV, Daarut Tauhiid Foundation operated a radio station, MQFM, founded in 2001.
MQTV was founded on 22 June 2002,[1] originally as a production house specializing in lectures by Aa Gym as well as other Islamic programming. In 2003 MQTV had 5 managers, 23 animation staff, and 18 administration and production staff; and the MQTV brand was increasingly recognized.[2]
MQTV entered terrestrial television by signing on a station on 1 May 2006, after a trial broadcast on 28 October 2003.[2] The station could be considered the first Islamic-based television station in Indonesia[citation needed], albeit on a local scale (the first Islamic-oriented station/network/channel wsa national-scale Global TV).
