The station airs on terrestrial analog and digital platforms, as well as via live streaming on the TVRI website and the TVRI Klik app.

The station began broadcasting on January 1, 1983,^[1] as Programa Dua TVRI (or simply Programa Dua or Programa 2). That was about six years before the first Indonesian private television station, RCTI launched. The station primarily serving the Jakarta region from the beginning; in its early years, it aired more urban-oriented programming than its main channel (TVRI Nasional). The first program to broadcast was English-language news TVRI News for half an hour at 18:30 WIB, under the responsibility of the News section.^{[citation needed]} English news returned to the channel as the weekly newscast Jakarta in a Week in 2023.

On March 26, 2007, TVRI Jakarta was launched,^[3] probably transformed from Programa Dua.^{[citation needed]} Later, the station changed its name again to TVRI Jakarta & Banten, reflecting the station's coverage are which includes parts of Banten province (as Banten didn't yet have its own TVRI regional station).

As of March 30, 2019, the name changed back to TVRI Jakarta.

On November 3, 2022, at 12 am (WIB), TVRI Jakarta stopped broadcasting in analog in Jabodetabek, and is only available through terrestrial digital television broadcasts on channel 43 UHF (multiplexing TVRI Joglo).

In analog terrestrial, instead of acting as opt-out local programming on TVRI Nasional (as in other TVRI regional stations), TVRI Jakarta acted as a separate local channel from the first broadcast. This kind of system was created so that viewers had a choice between the national and regional channels. The system was later implemented in the digital terrestrial broadcast of all TVRI regional stations, where each station ideally had its own channel and did not need to opt out from TVRI Nasional.

TVRI Jakarta programming included its local newscasts, Jakarta Hari Ini (Jakarta Today).^[4]

As Banten Province has no TVRI station nor its own broadcast crews, TVRI Jakarta provides an ad-hoc news department for provincial news and feature stories aired on Jakarta Hari Ini and station produced-programming targeting said province, as well as shared programs for the two provinces.
