Visi Media Asia Information

Visi Media Asia was started in 2004 by Bakrie Global Ventura. It provides news, sports, and lifestyle content on traditional and online platforms. It owns two television channels, tvOne and antv, and the online news website VIVANews (now VIVA.co.id), which has an application available for BlackBerry, SMS, Android, and Brew.[2] In 2013, Visi Media Asia and other subsidiaries of Bakrie Group faced a huge financial crisis. The Bakrie family decided to sell their majority interest in Visi Media Asia to buy coal assets from London-listed Bumi Plc. Offering approximately 51% of the stakes, they received a number of bids, including two from MNC Group, CT Corp. and Elang Mahkota Teknologi (which controls SCTV).
