NEW TEAM FOR METRO TV’S INTERNATIONAL WEEKLY
The country's first international English-language news program has a new anchor team.
Jakarta native Andini Effendi moved to "Indonesia Now" on March 6, joining veteran anchor Dalton Tanonaka. The weekly show is seen in
Indonesia on Saturdays at 9 a.m. and Sundays at 1 a.m. Jakarta time.
"Andini is a talented and energetic journalist who brings a nice freshness,” says Tanonaka. “Our viewers will miss Frida (Lidwina), but they will like Andini very quickly.”
"Indonesia Now" provides the week's top news stories in Indonesia and Asia, along with regular segments that take a closer look at the country that's home to more Muslims than anywhere else in the world. "IndoBiz" reports on corporate and market developments; "Destination Indonesia" takes viewers to scenic and historic locations throughout the archipelago; and "Islam Today" is an objective look at the contemporary practice of religion.
"Indonesia Now" debuted September 1, 2006, and is seen throughout the world by satellite and the internet, including in Japan on NHK. It can also be seen in real-time live streaming on the program’s website at www.metrotvnews.com/indonesianow. Archived programs are available for post-broadcast viewing.
