history
After the end of the Japanese occupation of Indonesia and the declaration of independence on August 17, 1945, the country's state radio was founded, which very soon began recording shortwave broadcasts abroad under the name Voice of Indonesia . For this purpose, the old stations of the former Dutch colonial government were taken over at that time. The station was originally called "Voice of Free Indonesia" ( Voice of Free Indonesia ). On September 11, 1945, the state broadcaster Radio Republic Indonesia (RRI) was founded, under whose roof the foreign service has been operated ever since. It bears the name "Voice of Indonesia" (since 1950 Voice of Indonesia ).
