Abstract

News programs play an important role in
a television station. When a prime-time news program is
cancelled from the television, the editor team is demanded to
immediately make adaptation. A commercial broadcasting
agency should make moves in line with media business. This
study takes two cases of prime-time news programs being
cancelled, namely Liputan 6 Petang in SCTV and Seputar
Indonesia Sore in RCTI. Both are popular news programs
on Indonesian television. This study shows that editorial
teams have differences and similarities in responding to the
cancellation of prime-time news programs. Some of them
retain the program name and other attributes already
instilled in the audiences’ mind, change the format of the
news, adjust the news to the millennial segment, and utilize
online/digital and offline platforms. This study suggests that
there should be regulations governing television news
programs. The absence of such regulation will justify media
business players’ preference for airing merely entertainment
programs rather than broadcasting educational ones.
