English News Service would later move to TVRI main channel and continued until 2021 only to return in 2024 under the name Focus Today.

However, the channel further description, including its content, was not stated: Meanwhile, another idea to launch an international television station from Indonesia has existed at least since 1997, although not directly related to TVRI.

Act Number 24 of 1997 on Broadcasting which was passed by the People's Representative Council (DPR) mandated the establishment of the Televisi Siaran Internasional Indonesia (Indonesian International Broadcast Television, abbreviated as TSII) as an international television station.

In 2019, the director of programming and news at the time Apni Jaya Putra again targeted TVRI World's premiere broadcast on 1 January 2020.

In the announcement, the network's president director Iman Brotoseno said that TVRI World would be a channel for class A and B audiences at home and abroad containing "promotion, tourism, arts, culture, news about Indonesia, and current issues".

The implementation of Community Activities Restrictions Enforcement, especially in Jakarta, from July to August 2021 also affected the trial broadcast.

In July 2023, satellite operator, SES announced the launch of TVRI World across Europe from the Astra 19.2°E satellite position and for the MENA region via YahSat 52.5°E, with SES providing playout services, encoding, content delivery and signal monitoring.
