The Indonesian Broadcasting Commission ({{langx|id|Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia}}, abbreviated as KPI) is an independent broadcasting agency in Indonesia that functions as a regulating body for broadcasting companies in the country.{{Cite web|url=http://style.tribunnews.com/2019/04/20/cegah-keributan-kpi-minta-tv-dan-radio-berikan-edukasi-soal-quick-count|title=Cegah Keributan, KPI Minta TV dan Radio Berikan Edukasi Soal Quick Count|website=TribunStyle.com|language=id-ID|access-date=2019-04-24}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/03/article/ed-sheeran-song-too-pornographic-for-indonesia/|title=Asia Times {{!}} Ed Sheeran song too 'pornographic' for Indonesia {{!}} Article|last=Staff|first=Asia Times|website=Asia Times|date=4 March 2019 |language=en|access-date=2019-04-24}} The commission was established in 2002 based on Act No. 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting. KPI consists of the Central Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI Pusat) and the Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID) who work on the provincial level.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/04/19/broadcasting-companies-must-focus-on-real-count-kpi.html|title=Broadcasting companies must focus on real count: KPI|website=The Jakarta Post|language=en|access-date=2019-04-24}}{{Cite web|url=https://aecnewstoday.com/?p=280720&preview=true&preview_id=280720|title=Indonesia morning news for April 22|last=Pov|first=Piseth|date=2019-04-22|website=AEC News Today|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-04-24}}{{Cite web|url=https://jatim.sindonews.com/read/9776/1/mui-mendesak-kpi-menghentikan-tayangan-quick-count-1555722280|title=MUI Mendesak KPI Menghentikan Tayangan Quick Count|website=SINDOnews.com|language=id-ID|access-date=2019-04-24}}
Formation
The predecessor of today's KPI was the National Broadcasting Advisory and Controlling Agency (Badan Pertimbangan dan Pengendalian Penyiaran Nasional, or BP3N), mandated upon the provision of Act No. 24 of 1997 on Broadcasting, but it did not came into formation.
The succeeding Act No. 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting{{cite web |title=Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting |url=https://jdih.kominfo.go.id/storage/files/1574745791-_JDIH___2__Law_No_32_of_2002_on_Broadcasting.pdf |website=Jaringan Dokumentasi dan Informasi Hukum |access-date=19 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210619212727/https://jdih.kominfo.go.id/storage/files/1574745791-_JDIH___2__Law_No_32_of_2002_on_Broadcasting.pdf |archive-date=19 June 2021 |url-status=live }} is the main basis for the establishment of the KPI. The broadcasting system is managed by an independent body free from any influence of the financiers, powerful people, and political institutions such as the government. In comparison, Section 7 of the former Act No. 24 of 1997 on Broadcasting states that "broadcasting is dominated by the country's structure and operations are undertaken by the government", indicating that the broadcasting agency was subject to the government of Indonesia.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OPUtYAAACAAJ&q=Komisi+Penyiaran+Indonesia|title=Pedoman perilaku penyiaran (P3) & standar program siaran (SPS).|last=Indonesia|first=Komisi Penyiaran|date=2009|publisher=Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia|language=id}}
Indonesia's democratization process puts the public as both owner and controller of the broadcasting sphere industry. This is because the frequencies are public property and limited in nature; their use should be for the greater public interest. This means that the media broadcasting services must perform the function of provision of information for public health. The information is varied, ranging from news, entertainment, science, etc. The healthy function of information services, as set out in Act No. 32 of 2002, is based on the principles of diversity of ownership and diversity of content.{{Cite web|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/indonesias-broadcasting-commission-calls-on-tv-stations-to-pull-racy-k-pop-advert|title=Indonesia's broadcasting commission calls on TV stations to pull racy K-pop ad|last=hermesauto|date=2018-12-12|website=The Straits Times|language=en|access-date=2019-04-24}}{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_pBBDwAAQBAJ&dq=Komisi+Penyiaran+Indonesia&pg=PA97|title=Sistem Penyiaran Indonesia|last=Panuju|first=Redi|date=2017-02-01|publisher=Kencana|isbn=9786021186985|language=id}}
