Elshinta FM 90

Elshinta is Indonesia's premier all-news and talk radio station, broadcasting 24 hours daily from Jakarta as the country's leading source for breaking news, traffic updates, and public affairs programming. Founded in 1968 by retired Indonesian Air Force Commodore Suyoso Karsono and originally named after his daughter, Elshinta transformed from an entertainment station into Indonesia's first dedicated news radio on February 14, 2000. Broadcasting on 90.0 FM with the call sign PM2FGZ, the station is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of national and international news, real-time traffic reports crucial for Jakarta's notorious congestion, and in-depth talk shows featuring expert analysis on politics, economics, and social issues. Elshinta operates eight regional self-owned stations and 32 affiliations across the Indonesian archipelago, forming one of the country's largest radio networks. The station gained prominence for its live coverage of major events including the 2016 Jakarta Attack and 2018 Surabaya Attack, though this sometimes led to regulatory challenges. As part of the Elshinta Media Group, which includes Elshinta TV and Fit Radio, the network serves millions of Indonesians who rely on its authoritative news and information. The station's commitment to connecting communities through timely, accurate reporting has made it an indispensable resource in Indonesia's media landscape.
